Which is more...

Question

Which is more basic (or more alkaline) : a solution of pH = 8 or a solution of pH = 11?

Open in App

Solution

A solution with a pH of 11 is more basic than a solution with a pH of 8. This is because a pH value greater than 7 indicates a basic solution. As the pH value increases from 7 to 14, there is an increase in the concentration of OH^-, which increases the strength of the solution.
