Answer:

a. very acidic

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution with a pH of 1.6 would be described as a very acidic solution.

The pH scale is a convenient scale for expressing the level of acidity or alkalinity of aqueous solutions.

The scale ranges from 1 to 14 in which case 1 is the lower limit and 14 the upper limit.

  • An acidic solution has a pH value less than 7. As pH decreases, the acidity of the solution increases.
  • Neutral solutions have a pH of 7
  • An alkaline solution has a pH greater than 7 and the level of alkalinity increases as pH increases.
