Question

The table below has information regarding pH and the nature (acidic/basic) of four different solutions. Which one of the options in the table is correct?

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b): The pH value of a neutral solution is 7 . Values less than 7 on the pH scale represent an acidic solution. As the pH value increases from 7 to 14 , it represents an increase in the $\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ion concentration in the solution, that is, increase in basic strength. For the given solutions, the correct data is tabulated below.
