What is your reasoning for C?

surry99 · Answer

Go through each statement one at a time...

anonymous · Answer

I'm honestly pretty clueless on this question..

surry99 · Answer

did you look up the points I made above:
what is the relationship between pH and hydronium ion concentration?
 what is the ph range for an acid....for a base?
 what is the relationship between ph and pOH?

If you do, the answer will be clear.
Give it a try...
