Question

The pH of aqueous solution of substance is 8. Predict its nature.

Answer 1

• pH is the measure of the concentration of ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$ions, and its value differs according to the acidic or basic nature of the substance.
• If the pH value of a solution is higher than 7, then it is basic in nature.
• The aqueous solution is basic in nature.
• Therefore, the given pH level of the solution indicates it is basic in nature.
