pH value.
Explanation:
pH -
The value of pH ranges from 1 to 14 , which helps to determine if the substance is acidic , neutral or basic in nature.
- For acidic solution, the value of pH is less than 7.
- For a neutral solution, pH = 7
And,
- For a basic solution, The value of pH is more than 7.
Hence, from the question,
Initially the water will give the pH = 7 ( water being basic )
But as soon as sodium hydroxide is dropped in it , the solution becomes basic in nature, the pH will increase to the value more than 7, i.e. 14.
