What is the classification of a solution of naoh with a ph of 8.3?

Explanation:

According to the pH,  solutions may be classified as neutral, acidic, or alkaline (basic).

This table shows such classification:

pH               classification

  7                   neutral

> 7                   alkaline or basic

< 7                   acidic

Thus, since the pH of the solution is 8.3, which is greater than 7, the solution is classified as basic (alkaline).

Additionally, you must learn that pH is a logarithmic scale for the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution.

You can calculate the concentration of hydronium ions using antilogarithm properties:

NaOH solutions are alkaline solutions, bases, according to Arrhenius model,  because they contain OH⁻ ions and release them when ionize in water.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
