Question

The pOH of a solution is 3.1. Which of the following is true about the solution? (1 point)

It is acidic and has a pH of 10.9.

It is basic and has a pH of 10.9.

It is acidic and has a pH of 6.2.

It is basic and has a pH of 6.2.

Answer 1

The answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question above we must first find the pH of the solution using the formula

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 3.1

So we have

pH + 3.1 = 14

pH = 14 - 3.1

pH = 10.9

Since it's pH is 10.9 the solution is a basic solution since it's pH lies in the basic region.

Hope this helps you
