Detailed explanation-1: -Knowing the dependence of pH on [H+], we can summarize as follows: If pH < 7, then the solution is acidic. If pH = 7, then the solution is neutral. If pH > 7, then the solution is basic.

Detailed explanation-2: -pHs less than 7 are acidic while pHs greater than 7 are alkaline (basic).

Detailed explanation-3: -The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic.

Detailed explanation-4: -A basic solution has a pOH of less than 7, while an acidic solution has a pOH of greater than 7.

Detailed explanation-5: -In general, a water with a pH < 7 is considered acidic and with a pH > 7 is considered basic. The normal range for pH in surface water systems is 6.5 to 8.5 and for groundwater systems 6 to 8.5. Alkalinity is a measure of the capacity of the water to resist a change in pH that would tend to make the water more acidic.
