Which statement correctly compares the pH of water to that of other substances?

a: The pH of water increases as its temperature increases, while other substances have a stable pH.
b: The pH of water is neutral; it is higher than the pH of acids and lower than pH of bases
c: Water contains more hydrogen ions than most other substances, giving it a higher pH.
d: Water is neutral and has a pH of 0; acids have a pH greater than 0 and bases have a pH less than 0

b: The pH of water is neutral; it is higher than the pH of acids and lower than pH of bases

The right answer is B.

The abbreviation pH refers to the notion of hydrogen potential. The pH has since become an indicator of acid solutions - when the pH is below 7 - or alkaline solution - when the pH is above 7 - of a solution. A neutral medium displays a pH of 7. This is the case of pure water at 25 ° C.
