Question 8 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which of these substances is the least acidic?

Answer
A
solution A, pOH = 1.5
B
solution B, pOH = 7.0
C
solution C, pOH = 13.5

Explanation

At 25°C, pH + pOH = 14. Solution A has pH = 14 − 1.5 = 12.5, solution B has pH 7.0, and solution C has pH = 14 − 13.5 = 0.5. The highest pH is least acidic, so solution A is the answer.
