the ph of a solution is tested, and it is found to be a basic solution. of the following choices, what could the ph have been?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall pH - scale properties

Solutions with pH > 7 are basic.

Step2: Check each option

  • Option 1: pH = 3 < 7 (acidic).
  • Option 2: pH = 9 > 7 (basic).
  • Option 3: pH = 7 (neutral).
  • Option 4: pH = 5 < 7 (acidic).

Answer:
