Question

Using a pH meter,you find the pH of an unknown solution to be 8.0. How would you describe this solution?

a. Weak acidic
b.strongly acidic
c. weakly basic
d. strongly basic

Answer 1

Because the pH for the unknown solution is 8.0 and it’s above the 7.0 (neutral) it’ll a weak base

The answer: C. weak base

Base solution:
above 7 under 10 is weak basic
above 10 under 14 is strong basic

Answer 2

c) weakly basic

explanation:

Thus, the pH value range of a weak base is 7.1 to 10 whereas a strong base is 10.1 to 14.
