Question

Example or (real life example) of  where the pH of an ammonia solution is lower than the pH of a lye solution?

Answer 1

One example of a real-life scenario where the pH of an ammonia solution is lower than the pH of a lye solution is in household cleaning products. Ammonia-based cleaning products often have a pH around 10-11, making them slightly basic. On the other hand, lye (sodium hydroxide) is a strong base and commonly found in drain cleaners or oven cleaners, usually having a pH of around 13-14, making it highly alkaline. Thus, the pH of a lye solution would be higher than that of an ammonia solution.
