Question 11 • Chemistry A.1 - F26 - Jacob Metsker
Water’s ion product means that as the hydrogen ion concentration [H+] increases, the hydroxide ion concentration [OH−] decreases. A lower [OH−] corresponds to a higher pOH because pOH = −log[OH−]. Therefore, the substance has a low [OH−] and a high pOH, as choice B states.
