Asolution has a ph of 8. which best describes the solution? a strong acid. a strong base. a weak acid. a weak base.

A Weak Base

Explanation:

As we know that the concentration of H ions in the solution will decide the property of the solution.

As we know that pH is defined as

so now if we found that value of pH lies less than 7 then it is an acid and the strength of the acidity will increase as we go down with its value.

Also if the value of pH increases more than 7 then the solution becomes basic and the nature will increase more basic as we move more on the value of 7.

Since the pH here is given as 8 so this is a basic solution and also it is not very high or strong basic as its value is still close to 7

so correct answer is

a weak basic
