Expert Solution
Step 1

The measure of the acidic and basic strength of any solution is given by its pH value. A strong acid has a low pH less than 7 and a weak acid has a high H but less than 7.. On the other hand, a weak base has a low pH greater than 7 and a strong base has a high pH greater than 7.
