Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base.
Detailed explanation-2: -pH greater than 7 Pure water, pH 7, a neutral solution, pH 7, and a basic solution, pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pH of a solution is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, which in turn is a measure of its acidity. Pure water dissociates slightly into equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH−) ions. For a neutral solution, [H+] is 10−7, or pH = 7.
