Verified Answer :

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option It would be pH value of 2 that will have the most acidic strength. The pH range is from 1 to 14 where one is the most acidic and 14 is the most basic so that it should be pH 2 the correct answer.

Answer: pH = 2

Explanation: pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

\(pH=-\log [H^+]\)

\(pH=log\frac {1}{H^+}\)

Thus as pH and \(H^+\) are inversely related, a solution having lower pH will have more amount of \(H^+\) concentration. And a solution having more pH will have less amount of \(H^+\) concentration.

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 , neutral solutions have pH of 7 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.

Strong acids which dissociate completely when dissolved in water and have high concentration of \(H^+\) will have low pH and vice versa.
