Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :
What is the pH of pure water?

• A. 2
• B. 7
• C. 5
• D. 12

Answer 1

The correct option is B 7

Answer:

The pH scale ranges from $0\to 14$, water with $pH<7$ is considered acidic and with a $pH>7$ is considered basic. These concentrations can be calculated from the equation for the ionization of water. The pH of pure water is $7$. A neutral solution is one that is neither acidic nor basic.

Option B is the correct answer.
