Please help there are so many different answers which one is right

Answer 1

The correct answer is 2.0

Answer 2

8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

A weak acid and a strong base will form a more basic salt.

2.0 is more acidic, you'll usually see this from a reaction between a strong acid and a weak base.

6.8 and 7.0 are neutral (or close to neutral) and are formed from reactions between weak acids and weak bases, or strong acids and strong bases.
