Answer:

(a) A strong acid

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the pH of the solution is 2.46

pH=2.46

So the concentration of
H^+=10^(-pH)=10^(-2.46)=0.00346

solution having H+ concentration more than
H^+=10^(-7) is acidic

Since in the given solution, H+ concentration is 0.00346 M which is more than 10^{-7}[/tex] so this is an acidic solution

Note-The concentration of
H^+ decide the behavior of the solution that is, it is acidic or basic
