Question

If a solution has a pH of 14, would it be considered to be a stong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base?

Answer 1

on my test the answer was a strong acid

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The solution with pH of 14 will be a strong base.

Step-by-step explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

`pH=-log[H^+]`

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9, bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14 and neutral solutions have pH equal to 7. Thus pH scale range from 1 to 14.

Strong acids have low pH ( around 1 ) values where as strong bases have high pH ( around 14) values.
