A student was assigned to take water samples from a lake near his home he measured the Ph of one of the water samples to be 6.0. which of the following best describes this sample of water Highly acidic
Slightly acidic
Highly basic
Slightly basic

B. Slightly acidic

Explanation:

pH can be defined as a measure of the negative logarithmic concentration of hydrogen ion (H+) in an aqueous solution.

Basically, the pH scale is used to measure the level of acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution based on a scale of 0 to 14.

An acidic solution has a pH lower than 7 (0 - 6), a basic solution has a pH higher than 7 (7 - 14) and a neutral solution has a pH of exactly 7.

In this scenario, a student was assigned to take water samples from a lake near his home he measured the Ph of one of the water samples to be 6.0. Therefore, this sample of water can be said to be slightly acidic its pH is slightly below 7.
