Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That's a chemical. It's also an acid: To some, it's better known as hydroxic acid.
It has the highest pH of any known acid!
Technically the majority of strong bases are also weak acids. Those have higher pH.
Hahahah, I guess that depends on which definition of acid you want to go with.
