Lila tests the pH of 4 solutions. Which solution should she identify as being a base? SOLUTION pH A 2 B 5 C 7 D 9(1 point) Responses Solution B Solution B Solution C Solution C Solution A Solution A Solution D

Answer 1

To determine which solution is a base, we look at the pH values of the solutions. A pH value above 7 indicates a basic (alkaline) solution.

Here are the given pH values:

• Solution A: pH 2 (acidic)
• Solution B: pH 5 (acidic)
• Solution C: pH 7 (neutral)
• Solution D: pH 9 (basic)

Since only Solution D has a pH value above 7, Lila should identify Solution D as being a base.
