Which of the following statements about pH is NOT true?
-
A.
When pH is equal to 0 it is neutral
-
B.
When pH is equal to 7 it is neutral
-
C.
When pH is greater than 7 it is basic
-
D.
When pH is less than 7 it is acidic
Correct Answer:
A. When pH is equal to 0 it is neutral
Explanation:
The incorrect statement is that a pH of 0 is neutral. On the pH scale, which typically ranges from 0 to 14, a value of 7 represents a neutral solution, such as pure water. Values lower than 7 are categorized as acidic, with 0 representing an extremely high level of acidity, while values higher than 7 are considered basic or alkaline. Therefore, a pH of 0 is strongly acidic, not neutral.
