Q

Match the following: Substance: (i) Lemon juice (ii) Gastric juice (iii) Milk of magnesia (iv) Sodium hydroxide solution pH: a.14 b.1.2 c.2.2 d.10

✓ Answer: A (i)-c, (ii)-b, (iii)-d, (iv)-a
Lemon juice has a pH of around 2.2 (i-c), gastric juice is highly acidic with a pH of 1.2 (ii-b), milk of magnesia has a basic pH of around 10 (iii-d), and sodium hydroxide solution is very basic with a pH of 14 (iv-a). The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, where lower values indicate acidity, and higher values indicate basicity. Hence the correct match is (i)-c, (ii)-b, (iii)-d, (iv)-a.
