**The pH scale is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration. It spans from 0 to 14 with the middle point (pH 7) being neutral (neither acidic or basic). Any pH number greater than 7 is considered a base and any pH number less than 7 is considered an acid. 0 is the strongest acid and 14 is the strongest base.
A base is a substance that produces hydroxide ions, OH -1, when it dissolves in water. NH. Bronsted and Lowry Acids and Bases. An acid is the species (molecule or ion) that donates a proton to another species in a proton-tranfser reaction.ASE. -a compound that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH -1) when dissolved in water. -any species that can accept a proton (H +1). -base formulas are written with the hydroxide ion at the end of the formula.
