Answer:
The solution is acidic.
Step-by-step explanation:
To know which option is correct, we shall determine the pH of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:
Concentration of Hydrogen ion [H⁺] = 5.7×10¯⁷ M
pH =?
pH = –Log [H⁺]
pH = –Log 5.7×10¯⁷
pH = 6.2
pH scale reads as follow:
0 to 6.9 => Acidic
7 => Neutral
8 to 14 => Alkaline / basic
The pH of the solution (i.e 6.2) falls between 0 and 6.9 which indicates acidic.
Therefore, the solution is acidic.
