Correct Answer: (a) Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid (HCI)
Solution:with a pH of less than 7 show acidic properties. Therefore, concentrated hydrochloric acid has a pH of about 2, while that of concentrated sodium hydroxide is 14. Daking soda has a pif of about 8, animonia has a pH of about 11.6, and pure water has a pH of 7 Hence it is clear that the lowest pH value (near zero) among the given alternatives is that of concentrated hydrochloric acid.
