Question

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

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

if the pH is 14, then it's very basic (pH 7 is neutral, and the higher you go above 7, the more basic it gets). which narrows us down to choices B+C.

between B+C: are bases high in hydrogen ions, or low?
