If 7 is neutral then the ocean is only slightly above it at 8.2 to 8.1. Which is barely any acidity. I hope this helps!

Answer:

It is near 8.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oceans are slightly basic in nature.

The pH is a scale to measure the acidic/basic nature of any substance.

A substance having pH less than 7 is considered to be acidic.

A substance having pH more than 7 is considered to be basic

A substance having pH equal to 7 is considered to be neutral.

The pH of ocean (naturally) is more than 7 and it is 8.1 approximately.
