Question

Which molecule, when added to a solution, would give the solution the highest pH

Answer 1

Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) when added to the solution would give the highest pH

Explanation:

Bases or Alkali are associated with high pH while Acidic substances are represented by lower pH value.

In the given option

HCl- is a strong acid hence would have pH less than 7

H2SO4- also an acid with a pH less than 7

KOH- base with a pH higher than 7

H20-neutral compound with pH as 7

KOH is a very strong base and dissociates in aqueous solution to give it's corresponding metallic ion and hydroxyl ions (OH-) which are characteristic property of any base.
