Answer:

It is a highly basic solution with a low hydrogen ion concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

A basic solution is one that has a low concentration of H + atoms, but has a high concentration of OH- atoms. In addition, these solutions have a pH greater than 7, the further away from 7 the pH value, the stronger the base.

With that, we can say that a solution with pH 14, is a highly basic solution, with low concentration of hydrogen atoms.
