If the pH of a solution is 7 the solution is said to be
A
Acidic
B
Basic
C
Neutral
D
Tasty
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pH value of a ‘neutral’ solution is 7. Generally, pH greater than 7 is considered basic and pH less than 7 is considered acidic. The pH value is defined as a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution to measure the degree of the acid or base of the solution.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pH scale is centered on 7-meaning that a solution with a pH of 7 is perfectly neutral (neither acidic nor basic).
