Question

In general, life needs to maintain a pH level between 01-4 5-8 9-14

Answer 1

Answer:

5-8

Explanation:

To answer the question we need to know that;

• A pH of 1-6 is said to be acid with 1-3 being strongly acidic, while a pH of 8 to 14 is said to be basic with 12-14 being strongly acidic.
• Many living organisms or life systems tend to operate at a neutral pH.
• Neutral pH is the pH of 7 or close to 7.

• In this case, the pH of between 5 and 8 is fairly neutral.
• Extreme pH such as very acidic pH and very basic pH would be hostile to body systems of most living organisms.
• Therefore, life needs to maintain an almost neutral pH of 5 to 8.
