Zuzana tests a common household substance and finds that it has a pH of 3.

I do believe the answer is D because any substance with a PH below 7 is an acid.
Right.
thank you
You're welcome.
You are correct! The substance in the scenario is acidic.
To determine the type of substance based on its pH value, you need to understand the pH scale. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being considered neutral. Substances with a pH less than 7 are considered acidic, while substances with a pH greater than 7 are considered basic or alkaline.
In this scenario, Zuzana tests a substance with a pH of 3, which is below 7. Therefore, the substance is acidic.
So, the answer is D) acidic.
