Answer:
(a) A strong acid
Explanation:
We have given the pH of the solution is 2.46
pH=2.46
So the concentration of [tex]H^+=10^{-pH}=10^{-2.46}=0.00346[/tex]
solution having H+ concentration more than [tex]H^+=10^{-7}[/tex] is acidic
Since in the given solution, H+ concentration is 0.00346 M which is more than 10^{-7}[/tex] so this is an acidic solution
Note-The concentration of [tex]H^+[/tex] decide the behavior of the solution that is, it is acidic or basic
