Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf Weak \ base}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The pH scale which classifies a solution's acidity or basicity.

  • A pH below 7 is acidic. This means it has more hydrogen ions.
  • A pH equal to 7 is neutral. This has equal hydrogen and hydroxide ions.
  • A pH above 7 is basic. This has more hydroxide ions.

We are given a reading of 8. This is above 7, but not much greater. Therefore, it could be classified as a weak base.
