7 is neutral but the ones that would be considered acidic is B

Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. It is also defined as the power of hydrogen ions that are present in a solution. It ranges to the scale of 1 - 14.

On the basis of this scale, the solutions are divided into 3 categories, which are:

  • If the pH of the solution lies in the range of 1 to 6.9, the solution is said to be acidic.
  • If the pH of the solution lies in the range of 7.1 to 14, the solution is said to be basic.
  • If the pH of the solution is exactly 7, the solution is said to be a neutral solution.

From the above information, we conclude that the water sample having pH = 6.0 is acidic in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
