Understanding +4 | -1

A certain sample of rainwater gives a yellow colour with methyl red [pH range 4.2 (red) - 6.2 (yellow)] and a yellow colour with phenol red [pH range 6.4 (yellow) - 8.0 (red)]. What is the approximate

\mathrm{pH}

of the water? Is the rainwater acidic, neutral or basic?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

6.3, acidic

Option A (6.3, acidic) is correct because the rainwater turns methyl red yellow (pH > 6.2) and phenol red yellow (pH < 6.4), indicating a pH around 6.3, which is acidic.
