Question

A substance has a pH of 8.0 how would it be classified

Answer 1

A substance with a pH of 8.0 is classified as a **weak base**. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with values below 7 indicating acidity, a pH of 7 being neutral (like pure water), and values above 7 indicating alkalinity or basicity. Since pH 8.0 is above 7 but not very high, it is considered a weakly basic solution.
