question 1-17
a student was assigned to take water samples from a lake near his home. he measured the ph of one of the water samples to be 6.0. which of the following best describes this sample of water?
highly acidic
slightly acidic
highly basic
slightly basic

Explanation:

The pH scale ranges from 0 - 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. Values below 7 are acidic, and values above 7 are basic. The closer the pH is to 0, the more acidic; the closer to 14, the more basic. A pH of 6.0 is just below 7, so it is slightly acidic.

Answer:

Slightly acidic
