Solution

The statement that is not correct is D. The higher the pH of a solution, the higher its acidity. This is incorrect because the pH scale is used to specify the acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of an aqueous solution. Acids have a pH less than 7, while bases (or alkalis) have a pH greater than 7. Therefore, the higher the pH of a solution, the lower its acidity, not higher.
