Q1 of 35 Page 149

The aqueous solution having pH 11 is how many times less basic than aqueous solution having pH 8?

A) solution with pH = 11

pH + pOH = 14


Therefore, pOH = 14-11 = 3


Hence, [OH-] = 10-3


B) solution with pH = 8


pOH = 14-8 = 6


Hence, [OH-] = 10-6


So the solution with pH = 11 is (10-3÷10-6) 1000 times more basic than the solution with pH = 8
