Question

If $pH$ value of solution $A$ is 8, $pH$ value of solution $B$ is 7 and $pH$ value of solution $C$ is 5.5, then:
a. Which solution is acidic?
b. Which solution is basic?
c. Which solution is neutral?

Answer 1

If $pH$ value of solution $A$ is 8, $pH$ value of solution $B$ is 7 and $pH$ value of solution $C$ is 5.5, then:
a. The solution $C$ is acidic.
b. The solution $A$ is basic.
c. The solution $B$ is neutral.
Note: For neutral solution, $pH=7$
For acidic solution, $pH<7$
For basic solution, $pH>7$
