Answer :
Answer:
Option A. neutral
Explanation:
we know that
The pH is a number that describe the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. A solution's pH will be a number between 0 and 14.
A solution with a pH of 7 is classified as neutral. [tex](pH=7)[/tex]
If the pH is lower than 7, the solution is acidic. [tex](pH < 7)[/tex]
If the pH is higher than 7, the solution is basic. [tex](pH > 7)[/tex]
In this problem we have a solution that has a pH=7
therefore
The solution is classified as neutral
Answer: The correct answer is Option A.
Explanation:
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution.
Mathematically,
[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex]
- If the solution has high hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be low and the solution will be acidic. The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9
- If the solution has low hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be high and the solution will be basic. The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14
- The solution having pH equal to 7 is termed as neutral solution.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
