Question
A solution turns blue litmus red. Its pH is likely to be:
- 7
- 5
- 8
- 14
✓
Answer
- 5
Explanation:
An acidic solution turns blue litmus red. On the pH scale, acids have values less than 7, whereas bases have values greater than 7. Solutions with pH equal to 7 are neutral in nature. Therefore, the pH of the given solution is likely to be 5.
