Alkaline PH scale starts from?

Correct answer: A. 8 to 14

  • A. 8 to 14
  • B. 6 to 10
  • C. 7 to 11
  • D. 0 to 14

Explanation

On the usual 0 to 14 pH scale, alkaline solutions have pH values greater than 7, commonly written as 8 to 14. Students may select 0 to 14 because it is the complete pH scale rather than the alkaline portion.

About Buffer Solutions

Buffer solutions resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added, using a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Work includes buffer action, the common-ion effect, Henderson-Hasselbalch calculations, buffer capacity, and the difference between acidic and basic buffers.
