Which of the following has pH value 7? A. Pure Water B. H2SO4 C. Sodium Carbonate D. HCl

Pure Water
H2SO4
Sodium Carbonate
HCl

The correct answer is A. Pure Water.

pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a substance is. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH below 7 is acidic, and a pH above 7 is basic.

Pure water has a pH of 7 because it contains equal amounts of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). When these ions are in equal amounts, they cancel each other out and the solution is neutral.

H2SO4 is a strong acid with a pH of

0. HCl is also a strong acid with a pH of 1. Sodium carbonate is a base with a pH of 10.

Therefore, the only substance that has a pH of 7 is pure water.
