Question 7 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which of these substances has the highest pOH?

Answer
A
0.10 M HCl, pH = 1
B
0.001 M HNO3, pH = 3
C
0.01 M NaOH, pH = 12

Explanation

At 25°C, pH + pOH = 14, so pOH = 14 − pH. For 0.10 M HCl, pOH = 14 − 1 = 13; for HNO₃, it is 11; and for NaOH, it is 2. Therefore, 0.10 M HCl has the highest pOH.
