Question

A high pH value indicates _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

A high pH value indicates a high concentration of OH- ion

Explanation:

The higher the OH- ion concentration high will be the pH.In simple words if the concentration of OH- ions are increased then the pH of the solution will also increase which means the solution will turns towards basic with increasing its OH- ion concentration.

  Let us assume that the OH- concentration of a solution is  10-9  so the pOH of that solution will be 9 and the pH will be 5.

  Now the concentration of OH-ion of that solution is increased from 10-9 to 10-8 now the pOH of that solution is 8 and the pH is 6.
