Which of the following is typically true about the pH of standard tap water?
(A) Usually varies between pH 5 and pH 9, depending on the city
(B) pH = 7.0 because it is relatively clean
(C) pH > 7.0 because of small concentrations of basic anions (e.g. F-)
(D) pH < 7.0 because of small concentrations of carbonic acid
