A student is given a 0.1 M solution of an acid and is asked to determine whether it is a solution of a weak acid or a strong acid. The student measures the pH and determines it to be 2.3. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the strength of the acid and explainsIt is a strong acid, because the pH is greater than 1.BIt is a weak acid, because the pH of a 0.1 M solution of a strong acid is 1.It is a weak acid, because the pH is less than 7.D) There is not enough information given to determine whether the acid is strong or weak.

Given: Concentration of acid = 0.1 M And the pH of the solution = 2.3

A student is given a 0.1 M solution of an acid and is asked to determine whether it is a solution of a weak acid or a strong acid. The student measures the pH and determines it to be 2.3. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the strength of the acid and explain It is a strong acid, because the pH is greater than 1. B It is a weak acid, because the pH of a 0.1 M solution of a strong acid is 1. It is a weak acid, because the pH is less than 7. D) There is not enough information given to determine whether the acid is strong or weak.
