|
|
Acidic
|
|
|
Basic
|
|
|
Neutral
|

|
none of these

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -pH is usually (but not always) between 0 and 14. If pH < 7, then the solution is acidic. If pH = 7, then the solution is neutral. If pH > 7, then the solution is basic.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -pHs less than 7 are acidic while pHs greater than 7 are alkaline (basic).
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -A strong acid must also be a strong electrolyte. A solution that has a pH of 8.5 is considered a weak base.
