Answer:

B = basic

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

[OH⁻] = 5.35×10⁻⁴M

pH = ?

Solution:

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

pOH = - [5.35×10⁻⁴]

pOH = 3.272

it is known that,

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14- pOH

pH = 14 - 3.272

pH = 10.728

The acidic pH is range from zero to less than 7 while 7 pH is neutral and above 7 the pH is basic. So, the given solution is basic.
