SUMMARY

The discussion centers on identifying the pH of an acid solution in the context of an Anatomy & Physiology I student's query. The correct answer to the question posed is D. pH 6.9, as acidic solutions have a pH of less than 7.0, while freshly distilled water has a neutral pH of 7.0. Participants emphasized the importance of understanding pH levels and provided a link to a Wikipedia article for further reading on the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of pH scale and its implications in chemistry
  • Basic knowledge of acid-base chemistry
  • Familiarity with chemical bonding concepts
  • Awareness of the properties of water and its pH
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of acids and bases in chemistry
  • Study the pH scale and its applications in various scientific fields
  • Explore the concept of neutralization reactions
  • Review the role of pH in biological systems and physiology
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for first-year Anatomy & Physiology students, chemistry learners, and anyone seeking to understand the fundamentals of pH and its significance in biological and chemical contexts.

I'm a first year student Anatomy & Physiology and this really got to. I have been in Chemistry for about two weeks now and really need some help with this one.
Questions is: Which of these is the pH of an acid solution?

A. pH 7.1
B. pH 7.0
C. pH 12.4
D. pH 6.9
E. pH 8.3


No Relevant equations


The attempt at a solution was to guest after reading about chemical bonding, Elements and compounds, but when I got to pH it was a whole new subject, with the K+ CI-KCI I have know idea. Please help me.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You are on the Calculus forum, but in answer to your question acidic solutions have a pH of < 7.
 
Take a look at this wikipedia article, particularly the section titled Applications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH.
Freshly distilled water, which is neither acid nor alkiline, has a pH of 7.0. You should notice that one of your five choices is unlike the others, and is therefore the one you want.
 
Thank you, Mark so if I have any pH questions I can go to wikipedia.org
