Answer:
Basic solution
Explanation:
A solution containing 0.005 M potassium hydroxide has a pH of;
pOH= -log[0.005]
pOH= 2.3
But pH+pOH=14
Therefore;
pH= 14-pOH
Hence;
pH= 14-2.3= 11.7
A solution having a pH of 11.3 is clearly a basic solution because this pH indicates a substance that is basic in nature. Hence the answer given.
