pH is the measure of the amount of hydrogen ions, or how acidic is a solution. a pH meter is a device you could use. Special paper like litmus paper could also be used. when it turns red (or if it is red litmus if it stays red) it' in acid. if the paper turns blue (or blue litmus remains blue), it's in a base. there is universal pH paper that turns a variety of colors depending upon the pH, 0 to 14 is the scale. the higher the number the more basic, the lower the number the more acidic. the number 7 means exactly balanced between acid and base, or neutral.
