प्रश्न
hich is more basic (or more alkaline) : a solution of pH = 8 or a solution of pH = 11?
उत्तर
A solution with a pH of 11 is more basic than a solution with a pH of 8. This is because a pH value greater than 7 indicates a basic solution. As the pH value increases from 7 to 14, there is an increase in the concentration of OH-, which increases the strength of the solution.
