What number on the pH scale represents a neutral pH? Group of answer choices 5 7 1 14

FALIUS, ASC, Alu Pil When water ionizes, it releases an equal number of both hydrogen ions (H*) and hydroxyl ions (OH). Acids are molecules that release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. A hydrogen ion is a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron (H*). Substances that remove hydrogen ions from a solution are known as bases (OH'). If there are more H* than OH', then the solution is an acid. If there are more OH" than H* then the solution is a base. The PH scale is a measure of the number of hydrogen ions present in a solution. It is used to indicate the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. ApH of 7 is neutral the pH of lemon juice is 2, which is acidic. the pH of bleach is 12, which is basic (or alkaline) Refer to the pH scale below for more pH values of common substances.
