Answer 2

Answer:

Water can be considered as an acid as well as a base because H₂O has both H⁺ ions (acid) as well as OH⁻ ions (base)...Generally if we consider normal water used for drinking it is neutral (having Ph very close to 7) and having equal no. of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions

Explanation:

It will be better if you specify which type of water are you taking eg. Tap water, water used in labs(distilled water) etc...
