Answer:
pH = 5.2 , Solution is acidic
Explanation:
pH = 7 is Neutral
pH < 7 is Acidic as number keep reducing acidity keep increasing
pH > 7 is Basic and basicity will keep increasing with increase in number
now pH given is 5.2
5.2 < 7
=> Solution is acidic
The pH of a solution is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and as such is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the solution.
pH = 5.2 , Solution is acidic

Answer:
pH = 8.8. Solution is weakly basic
Explanation:
We know that,
pH + pOH = 14
Given, pOH = 5.2
∴ pH + 5.2 = 14
pH = 14 - 5.2
pH = 8.8
As we know that solutions having pH value between 7 to 10 are weakly basic, thus this solution whose pH is 8.8 (8.8 is between 7 to 10) is also a weakly basic solution.
