A solution has a pOH of 8.7. What is the pH of the solution? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?

pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 14 - 8.7
pH = 5,3
This solution is acidic .
If pH<7 - acidic If pH=7 - neutral If pH>7 - basic

pOH scale is used to determine the basicity of a solution
pH scale is used to determine the acidity of a solution
pH and pOH are related in the following formula
pH + pOH = 14
once pOH is known we can calculate pH
pOH = 8.7
pH = 14 - 8.7
pH = 5.3
pH of the solution is 5.3
when pH is less than 7 the solution is said to be acidic
when pH is equal to 7 then solution is neutral
when pH is more than 7 then solution is basic
the pH of the solution here is 5.3 which is less than 7, therefore solution is acidic
acidic solution with pH of 5.3

The pH of the solution with a pOH of 8.7 is 5.3. This indicates that the solution is acidic since the pH is less than 7.
