A solution tested in the laboratory shows pH 14. Which of the following statements best describes this solution?
This is a multiple choice question, right? It'd probably help if we could see all the "following statements." But you know about the pH scale, right? The pH scale shows how acidic, or basic a substance is. The scale goes from 0 to 14. 0 means it's REALLY acidic. 14 (like in this question) means it's REALLY basic. And 7, right in the middle of the scale, means it's neutral. Like water. It's not more acidic, or basic.
It is a highly basic solution with a high hydrogen ion concentration. It is a highly alkaline solution with a high hydrogen ion concentration. It is a highly alkaline solution with a high hydrogen ion concentration. Are the choices.
