A pH of 3 is ___. a. basic b. neutral c. acidic d. a buffer.
Added by Claudia T.
Step 1
pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. It is a scale that ranges from 0 to 14, where 0 is the most acidic, 7 is neutral, and 14 is the most basic. Now, we know that a pH of 3 is below 7, which means it is acidic. Show more…
