Consider the following statements regarding the electrical conductivity of solutions: 1. Glucose and alcohol solutions do not conduct electricity. 2. Acidic solutions conduct electricity due to the presence of ions. 3. All covalent compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water. 4. Pure water is a strong conductor of electricity.

Which of the following inferences about pH is/are correct? 1. A solution with a pH of 7 is considered strongly acidic. 2. As pH increases above 7, the basic strength of the solution increases. 3. A lower pH value corresponds to a higher hydronium ion concentration. Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Consider the following statements regarding pH in biological and environmental contexts: 1. The human body functions within a narrow pH range of 7.0 to 7.8. 2. Rainwater is termed acid rain only when its pH is exactly 7.0. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Assertion (A): Acid rain can threaten aquatic life in rivers and lakes. Reason (R): Acid rain lowers the pH of river water below the survival range for many aquatic organisms.
