The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given pH values of two acids, A and B, and determine their relative acidity. ### Step 1: Understand pH Values The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, where lower pH values indicate higher acidity. A pH of 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is basic. ### Step 2: Identify the pH of Each Acid - For acid A, the pH is 2. - For acid B, the pH is 4. ### Step 3: Compare the pH Values Since pH is inversely related to acidity: - Acid A (pH = 2) is more acidic than acid B (pH = 4) because 2 < 4. ### Step 4: Conclusion on Acidity From the comparison, we conclude that: - Acid A is more acidic than acid B. ### Step 5: Evaluate the Options Now we can evaluate the given options based on our conclusion: - **Option A:** A is more basic than B (Incorrect, A is more acidic). - **Option B:** B is more acidic than A (Incorrect, A is more acidic). - **Option C:** A is more acidic than B (Correct, as we established). - **Option D:** B is more acidic than A (Incorrect, A is more acidic). ### Final Answer The correct answer is **Option C: A is more acidic than B**. ---
