![**Quiz Question:**
What is the pH of an Acid?
- ○ pH > 7
- ○ pH = 7
- ○ pH < 7
**Explanation:**
Acids are substances that have a pH value less than 7, indicating that they are more acidic. This means they release hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution, leading to a lower pH. A pH of exactly 7 is considered neutral, often exemplified by pure water. A pH greater than 7 indicates a basic or alkaline substance.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F940abd30-9750-4276-b204-3a6e9dc1be6b%2F39aee429-d35c-443a-98e2-07e6860d3ad6%2Fzivqkbq_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)

Introduction:
A pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration and it expresses the acidity or basicity of a solution. It is important to know the pH of different solutions present in a body so as to regulate proper physiological processes. pH plays a major role in a biochemical reactions occuring in the body. If it's not properly monitored can lead to disturbances.
