Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A neutral solution has a pH of
A
1
B
4
C
7
D
10
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Conversely, if a solution is neutral, that does not guarantee that it is also at pH 7. For example, at a temperature of 50oC, Kw = 5.47 × 10−14, giving a pH of 6.63. Temperature affects the equilibrium of the reaction of water dissociating into hydrogen and hydroxide ions.

Detailed explanation-2: -A pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution, a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution, and a pH of less than 7 indicates an acidic solution.

Detailed explanation-3: -As you can see from the pH scale above, pure water has a pH value of 7. This value is considered neutral-neither acidic or basic.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pH scale is centered on 7-meaning that a solution with a pH of 7 is perfectly neutral (neither acidic nor basic).
