Part 1: It's 7. 
Anything from 7 above to 14 is considered more basic, and anything from 7 below to 0 is considered acidic. 

Therefore, if a substance has a pH of 2, it is acidic. 
I think the tool would be called a pH scale.

The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic.
