Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Neutral solutions have a pH of ____
A
1-6
B
7
C
8-14
D
0
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: -It indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution. These ion concentrations are equal in pure water, which has a pH of 7. This pH value of 7 is important because it indicates a neutral solution.

Detailed explanation-5: -pH of a neutral solution is always 7.
