Question

In which of the following are the pH values arranged from the most basic to the most acidic?

14, 10, 7, 4, 3, 1

2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11

14, 10, 7, 1, 3, 5

1, 3, 6, 8, 11, 14

Answer 1

The correct answer is : 14, 10, 7, 4, 3, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH of the solution is a negative logarithm of the hydronium ion's concentrations present in a aqueous solution.The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14.

Mathematically written as:

`pH=-\log[H_3O^+]`

• Higher the value of pH more alkaline will be the solution.
• Lower the value of pH more acidic will be the solution.
• The solution with pH value 7 is termed as neutral solution.

So, from the given options of pH arranged from most basic to most acidic will be the decreasing order from 14 to 1 :

14, 10, 7, 4, 3, 1
