Question
KA1 A sample of seawater has a measured pH of 8.1.Classify the seawater.
Solution
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is considered neutral. Anything below 7 is considered acidic, and anything above 7 is considered basic (or alkaline).
Given that the pH of the seawater sample is 8.1, it falls into the basic (or alkaline) category. Therefore, the seawater can be classified as slightly basic.
