What is the chemical nature of an aqueous solution whose pH value is measured to be exactly 2 at room temperature?
A. Strongly acidic✓ Correct Answer
B. Weakly basic
C. Neutral
D. Strongly basic
💡 Solution & Explanation
A pH value of 2 indicates a high concentration of hydronium ions in the solution, classifying it as strongly acidic on the pH scale ranging from 0 to 14 where 7 is neutral. Values below 7 denote acidity, while values above 7 denote basicity. Lemon juice and gastric acid possess low pH values in this strong acid range.
