14
C
1
D
7
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pH of pure water is seven. Concentration of hydroxide ion and hydrogen ion is equal in pure water making it neutral.

Detailed explanation-3: -A measure of how acidic or basic a substance or solution is. pH is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. On this scale, a pH value of 7 is neutral, which means it is neither acidic nor basic. A pH value of less than 7 means it is more acidic, and a pH value of more than 7 means it is more basic.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water has a neutral pH of 7, which indicates that it is neither acidic or basic.
