Answer:

Strongly acidic

Step-by-step explanation:

pH scale test for the alkalinity and acidity level of a particular substance. The pH scale range from 0 - 14. The lower the pH value the higher the acidity contents while the higher the pH value the higher the alkalinity.

pH values of 1 - 3 depict strongly acidic contents as the value increases the acidity content reduces . Usually a pH value of 7 depicts neutrality. That is it is neither acidic nor alkaline. pH value higher than 7 is heading towards alkalinity.

Acidic content contains the hydrogen ion(H+) while the alkaline content contains the hydroxide ions(OH-). The combination of this ions, forms water molecule(H2O).
