If the pH of a solution is 8, it is a ____
|
|
strong acid
|
|
|
weak base
|
|
|
strong base
|
|
|
weak acid
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the pH value range of a weak base is 7.1 to 10 whereas a strong base is 10.1 to 14.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pH of a weak acid generally lies in the range of 4 to 6 .
Detailed explanation-3: -Strong Base Solution: Strong bases can completely dissolve in water. Their pH value is extremely high, usually between 12 to 14.
Detailed explanation-4: -As Bronsted-Lowry bases are proton acceptors, a weak base may also be defined as a chemical base in which protonation is incomplete. This results in a relatively low pH level compared to strong bases. Bases range from a pH of greater than 7 (7 is neutral, like pure water) to 14 (though some bases are greater than 14).
