Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the pH scale: The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 and is used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution.
Identify the characteristics of different pH values: A pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution, a pH of 7 is neutral, and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic (or alkaline) solution.
Analyze the given pH value: The problem states that the substance has a pH of 3.
Compare the pH value to the scale: Since 3 is less than 7, the substance is on the acidic side of the pH scale.
Conclude the nature of the substance: Based on the pH value of 3, the substance is considered acidic.
