Answer:

The liquid with a pH of 2 is an acid. The liquid with a pH of 9 is a base.

Step-by-step explanation:

pH Scale:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  • A pH scale ranges from 1 - 14.
  • 7 is neutral.
  • Any number on the scale less than 7 is acidic (acid).
  • Any number on the scale more than 7 is basic (base).
