The correct answer is [H+] < 1 x 10-7Mol/l.

Key Points

  • An alkaline solution is a mixture of solid bases dissolved in water.
  • The hydrogen potential, also known as the pH scale, measures how alkaline or acidic a solution is.
  • The scale goes from 0 to 14.
  • [H+] < 1 × 10-7Mol/l.
  • A midpoint of 7 represents a neutral pH.
  • Neutral solutions are neither acidic nor alkaline.
  • A pH level below 7 indicates an acidic solution and a number above 7 indicates an alkaline solution.
  • pH is a measurement of strength, not capacity, and any movement in the pH scale indicates a 10-fold increase in an acid or alkaline measurement.

Additional Information

  • Types of solution:
    • Some examples of Lye include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and calcium carbonate.
    • Each of these solutions has different applications in different industries.
    • Manufacturers often use Lye in products such as biodiesel fuels, soaps, medicines, detergents, and cleaning products.
