Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the pH of a base?
A
0-7 on a pH scale.
B
7 on a pH scale.
C
7-14 on a pH scale.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The range goes from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pH scale measures how acidic an object is. Objects that are not very acidic are called basic. The scale has values ranging from zero (the most acidic) to 14 (the most basic). As you can see from the pH scale above, pure water has a pH value of 7.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pH scale Anything below 7.0 is acidic, and anything above 7.0 is alkaline, or basic. pH scale, ranging from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very basic/alkaline) and listing the pH values of common substances.

Detailed explanation-4: -A solution of a strong alkali, such as sodium hydroxide, at concentration 1 mol dm−3, has a pH of 14.
