You have two solutions, A and B. The pH of solution A is 6 and pH of solution B is 8. Which of this is acidic and which is basic?
Solution A with a pH of 6 is acidic and solution B with a pH of 8 is basic.
Explanation:
In general, solutions with a pH less than 7 are considered acidic, while solutions with a pH greater than 7 are considered basic. A pH of 7 is considered neutral. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale, meaning that each unit change in pH represents a tenfold difference in the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-) in the solution. A lower pH indicates a higher concentration of H+ ions, which makes the solution more acidic, while a higher pH indicates a higher concentration of OH- ions, which makes the solution more basic.
