Answer:

Acid solutions have a pH between 0 (most acidic) and 7.0 (less acidic).

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The pH (Hydrogen potential) of a solution indicates its molecular concentration of Hydrogen ions.
  • The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a solution. It goes from 0 to 14 and is balanced at 7.0 (neutral); everything below 7.0 is acidic, and everything above it is basic/alkaline.
  • The lower the pH, the higher concentration of hydrogen ions.
