Question

Which statement is true for a strong base solution with a concentration greater than 1.0 M? A) pOH > pH B) pH > pOH C) pH < 0 D) pH<14 E) Two of these (a-d) are true.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a strong base solution, the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is high, which makes the solution basic. A concentration greater than 1.0 M means that there are more hydroxide ions than in a neutral solution (1.0 x 10^-7 M). The pH of a basic solution is calculated using the equation pH = 14 - pOH. Therefore, if the pOH of a solution is lower, the pH is higher. As a result, the correct statement is that pH > pOH, option B.
