Question
what is a substance with a ph of exactly 7 considered to be?
alkaline or basic
off the scale
neutral
very acidic
Brief Explanations
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is the mid - point of the scale. By definition, substances with a pH of 7 are neutral. Substances with a pH less than 7 are acidic, and those with a pH greater than 7 are alkaline or basic. "Off the scale" is not a standard term for pH = 7. "Very acidic" would be for a pH much less than 7 (e.g., pH = 0 - 3).
