Question

Which substance would most neutralize an acidic food?

dairy (pH 5–7)
water (pH 6–7)
citrus fruit (pH 2–3)
baking soda (pH 8-9)

Answer 1

Option-(D):The substance which is the most likely to neutralize the acidic food or substance is the baking soda (pH 8-9).

Step-by-step explanation:

As, the baking soda having a p.H of about 8-9 is able to neutralize the acidic food or substance more effectively. Along, with which we all know that there is given scale for each of the substance on the scale of being either acidic(p.H is less then 7),basic(p.H is more then 7) , or being a neutral substance(p.H= 7). While, different substances are well equipped to neutralize each other's effects more effectively.
