Question 11 • Chemistry A.1 - F26 - Jacob Metsker

A substance with a high pOH would likely have which of the following?

Answer
A
A low [H+ ] and a high pH
B
A low [OH– ] and a high pH
C
A high [OH– ] and a low pH
D
A high [H+ ] and a low pH

Explanation

Since pH + pOH = 14, a high pOH corresponds to a low pH. A low pH means the substance has a high hydrogen ion concentration, [H+]. Therefore, the correct choice is a high [H+] and a low pH.
