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 D Solution D Solution A

Answer 1

Lila should identify Solution D, which has a pH of 9, as being a base.

In general:

• A pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution.
• A pH of 7 is neutral.
• A pH greater than 7 indicates a basic (alkaline) solution.

Therefore, Solution D with a pH of 9 is the correct choice.
