Question

A solution tested in the laboratory shows pH 14. Which of the following statements best describes this solution?

It is a highly acidic solution with a high hydrogen ion concentration.
It is a highly basic solution with a low hydrogen ion concentration.
It is a highly basic solution with a high hydrogen ion concentration.

Answer 1

a

Answer 2

pH of 14 implies that it's highly basic and there are virtually no hydrogen ions in that solution.

Answer 3

@Rushwr thoughts?

Answer 4

I agree ! @Photon336

Answer 5

Should I give you deeper concept.............????

Answer 6

thank you guys

Answer 7

When pH increases the H+ concentration decreases !

Answer 8

If you want to understand why

pH + pOH = 14

pH means negative log though so the pH is very small meaning that theres virtually no H+

Answer 9

\[pH = =\log_{10} [H ^{+}]\]

Answer 10

-log*

Answer 11

Well already given ;) by #Rushwr

Answer 12

p means negative log

Answer 13

Usually pH ranges are:
From 1 to around 6 it is acidic
And when pH = 7 it is considered as neutral
When pH is above 7 it is considered as basic.
