To Classify: The given pH values as basic, acidic or very acidic.
Explanation of Solution
Given:the given pH values: 9.1, 1.2, and 5.7
The pH of a solution is a measure of the concentration of
If pH of a solution is less than 7, the solution is described as acidic.
If pH of a solution is equal to 7, the solution is neutral.
If pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.
The lower the pH value, higher the concentration of
Therefore, a pH of 1.2 is classified as very acidic, whereas, a pH of 5.7 is acidic and a pH of 9.1(>7) is basic.
Conclusion:A pH of 1.2 is very acidic, pH of 5.7 is acidic and pH of 9.1 is basic.
