pH refers to the relative concentration of H + ions in a solution. Low pH values indicate high concentrations of H +ions (acids) and high pH values indicate low concentrations. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/biology/8b423ee0bf2b3408dda243b340c06f68-.png" />

Q. The $p H$ of the digestive juices within the human small intestine is between $7.5$ and $8.5$ . This environment is slightly

basic

acidic

neutral

None of these

$p H$ refers to the relative concentration of $H^{+}$ ions in a solution. Low pH values indicate high concentrations of $H^{+}$ ions (acids) and high $p H$ values indicate low concentrations.
