The most acidic substance among the options listed is:
a) Rain water with a pH of 5.5
a
rain water with a pH of 5.5
b
sea water with a pH of 8.0
c
bleach with a pH of 13.0
d
blood with a pH of 7.4
a) Rain water with a pH of 5.5
In this case, we have:
a) Rainwater with a pH of 5.5
b) Sea water with a pH of 8.0
c) Bleach with a pH of 13.0
d) Blood with a pH of 7.4
The lower the pH value, the more acidic the substance is. So, among the given options, the substance with the lowest pH, which is the most acidic, is option a) Rainwater with a pH of 5.5.
a) Rainwater with a pH of 5.5
b) Seawater with a pH of 8.0
c) Bleach with a pH of 13.0
d) Blood with a pH of 7.4
Comparing the given substances, we can see that bleach has the highest pH value of 13.0, which means it is alkaline rather than acidic. On the other hand, rainwater has the lowest pH value of 5.5, making it the most acidic of the substances listed.
Therefore, the correct answer is: a) Rainwater with a pH of 5.5.
