Explanation / Answer

1) The answer of this problem is option (e), because -

A) A high pH value does not corresponds to a high H+ concentration. In acids the concentration of H+ is high but still the value of their pH is very low (below 7)

B) Stomach acid does not have a high pH value.The pH of our stomach acid varies, from 1-2 up to 4-5.

D) Pure water has a value of pH 7(Neutral point).

E) pH has very applications in our day to day life because each and every day we deals with many acids and bases and use them.
