Best Answer

A cleaner containing caustic soda would be described as basic, and its pH would be low, like 2 or so. Caustic soda is a pretty active (strong) base. Compare this to the pH of a neutral substance, which is 7, or an acid which is greater than 7, and the higher it is, the stronger the acid.

The use of acid and basic is correct, but the PH values are all backwards here. pH values below 7 are acidic and above 7 are basic. How in the world is this the best answer?
