        Which one of the following has highest pH?

    A)  Distilled water

    B)  \[1M\,N{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[1M\,NaOH\]

    D)  Water saturated with chlorine

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Pure water has \[pH=7\] \[N{{H}_{3}}\]solution is weakly, basic. So,\[pH>7\]but not too large for\[1\text{ }M\text{ }NaOH,\text{  }\!\![\!\!\text{ }O{{H}^{-}}]=1,\]                 \[[{{H}^{+}}]=\frac{{{10}^{-14}}}{[O{{H}^{-}}]}={{10}^{-14}}\] Hence,   \[pH=-log\text{ }{{10}^{-14}}=14.\]                 \[C{{l}_{2}}+HO\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}HCl+HClO\] Hence, the solution is acid or\[pH<7\].
