Question

A solution with a pH of 8 is _____. a. neutral b. basic c. acidic

Answer 1

Answer: basic

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is measured by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ions concentration.

$pH=-log[H^+]$

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.Neutral substances have pH of 7.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is b=basic

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

The pH is a measure of the concentration of protons. The pH scale is less than 7 the substance is acidic

pH = 7 the substance is neutral

pH> 7 the substance is basic.

In this case the pH is 8 so according to the scale the substance is basic. That is, it is a base.
