Question

Asolution has a pH of 8. Which best describes the solution?

Answer 1

A pH of 8 describes a weak base. Note that a pH of 7 is considered neutral. Anything lower than 7 is acidic, and anything higher than 7 is basic. For bases, the higher the pH, the more basic a substance is. Since the solution's pH of 8 is a lot closer to 7 than 14 (maximum pH), it is safe to assume that it is a weak base.
