Answers
GPT-4o mini
The number that determines if a water source is acidic or basic is the pH level. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14:
- A pH value of 7 is considered neutral.
- A pH value less than 7 indicates acidity (the lower the pH, the more acidic the solution).
- A pH value greater than 7 indicates basicity (the higher the pH, the more basic the solution).
Water sources with pH levels below 7 are acidic, while those with pH levels above 7 are basic or alkaline.
- A pH value of 7 is considered neutral.
- A pH value less than 7 indicates acidity (the lower the pH, the more acidic the solution).
- A pH value greater than 7 indicates basicity (the higher the pH, the more basic the solution).
Water sources with pH levels below 7 are acidic, while those with pH levels above 7 are basic or alkaline.
