Answer 2

A. A solution with a pH close to 14 is considered a strong base

Step-by-step explanation:

A. A solution with a pH close to 14 is considered a strong base. True. The higher the pH the more basic a solution is so this is true, pH 14 would be an extremely strong base.

B. A solution lower than 7 is considered basic. False. Anything higher than 7 on the pH scale is considered basic. Anything lower than 7 is considered acidic

C. A solution of 6 on the pH scale is considered neutral. False. 7 is where the neutral mark is on the pH scale

D. Higher than 7 is considered acidic. False, see B for reasoning.
