Which of these solutions is the most basic?
[H+] = 1 x 10–2 M
[OH–] = 1 x 10–4 M
[H+] = 1 x 10–11 M
[OH–] = 1 x 10–13M
i think its the first one?
I would convert all to (OH^-), then the largest OH is the most basic. I don't think it's A.
Or, you can do in your head pH.
pH A = 2
B = 10
C = 11
D = 1
Most acid is?
Most basic is?
To determine which solution is the most basic, we can look at the concentration of hydroxide ions ([OH-]). The higher the concentration of hydroxide ions, the more basic the solution.
Let's compare the concentrations of hydroxide ions for each solution:
1. [H+] = 1 x 10–2 M, [OH-] = 1 x 10–4 M
2. [H+] = 1 x 10–11 M, [OH-] = 1 x 10–13 M
In both cases, the concentration of hydroxide ions is higher than the concentration of hydronium ions ([H+]). However, in the second solution, the concentration of hydroxide ions is significantly lower than in the first solution. Therefore, the first solution ([H+] = 1 x 10–2 M, [OH-] = 1 x 10–4 M) is the most basic among the given options.
So, your intuition was correct. The first solution is indeed the most basic.
