Which statement describes a 0.01 m lioh( aq) solution? a. the solution is basic with a ph less than 7. b. the solution is acidic with a ph greater than 7. c. the solution is acidic with a ph less than 7. d. the solution is basic with a ph greater than 7.

Before answering the question, one should first calculate the pH for given concentration of LiOH.

As LiOH ionizes as,

                                 LiOH    →     Li⁺  +  OH⁻

So, the concentration of OH⁻  =  [OH⁻]  =  0.01
Also,
                               pOH  =  -log [OH⁻]

                               pOH  =  -log [0.01]

                               pOH  =  2
Whereas,
                               POH  +  pH  =  14
Or,
                               pH  =  14 - 2

                               pH  =  12
Result:
           As pH is greater than 7, so the solution is Basic.
