Question

The ph of four different solutions are recorded below which solution is more acidic a.pH=3 b.pH=7 c.pH=10 d.pH=14

Answer 1

Solution a is the most acidic.

In a pH scale of 1 to 14, the smaller the pH is, the more acidic is. In opposite, the higher the pH is, the more alkaline it is. We call substances with pH below 7 as acid, and above 7 as alkali, while 7 as neutral.

Therefore, comparing the 4 solutions, solution a has the lowest pH, 3, so it is the most acidic.
