Weak acid because 1-4 is strong acid 5-6 weak acid and 7 is neutral 8-9 weak base and 10-14 is a strong base

Trevor Dominguez · Answer 2

A sample with a pH of 6 is described as a weak acid. The pH scale is used to describe the basicity or acidity of a sample on a logarithmic scale. Based on the pH value, the substances can be broadly classified as bases, acids or neutral substances. Further, the substances can be characterized as : Strong acid (pH 1-2) Weak acid (pH 3-6) Neutral (pH 7) Weak base (pH 9-11) A strong base (pH 11-14) Based on this, a sample with pH 6 will be a weak acid.
