Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The pH scale ranges from 0 - 14. A pH near 1 indicates a high concentration of hydrogen ions ($H^+$), which is characteristic of a strong acid.
  2. A pH near 14 indicates a low concentration of hydrogen ions and a high concentration of hydroxide ions ($OH^-$), which is characteristic of a strong base.
  3. The pH is a measure of the hydrogen - ion concentration ($[H^+]$), not oxygen ions.

Answer:

  1. D. Strong acid
  2. B. Strong base
  3. False
