A solution with a pH of 3.6 would be ____
A
Acid
B
Base
C
Neutral
D
Acid and Base
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A pH of less than 7 is considered acidic. A pH of greater than 7 is then considered basic. Acidic solutions have high hydronium concentrations and lower hydroxide concentrations.

Detailed explanation-2: -A solution of pH value less than 7 is acidic in nature, while greater than 7 indicates a basic solution. Therefore, the solution with pH = 6 is acidic and has more hydrogen ion concentration than the solution of pH = 8, which is basic.

Detailed explanation-3: -pHs less than 7 are acidic while pHs greater than 7 are alkaline (basic).
