Best Answer

Lower pHs are more acidic

Higher pHs are more basic.

Therefore, the pH of 5 will be more acidic than pH of 7 **

also, the pH of 7 is neutral.

Edit by Kelvin876: Higher pHs are alkalines.

**Each number lower is 10 times greater in acidity than the prior number. This would mean that a solution with a pH of 5 is 100 times greater in acidity compared to a solution with a pH of 7.

A solution with a pH of 5 has how many more protons in it than a solution with a pH of 7?

It depends on what the solution is. What affects the pH is the element. If there are more H+ ions in the solution you're referring to, the solution will be more acidic (lower pH). If there are more (OH)- ions in the solution, the solution will be more basic (higher pH).

Is a solution with a pH of 5 acidic or basic?

A pH of 5 is mildly acidic. The rule is a pH of 7 is neutral, anything below 7 is acidic, and anything above 7 is alkaline or basic.
