None of the listed properties are characteristic of solutions with high pH values. A solution with a high pH value is alkaline or basic, and typically has the following properties:

- Does not give off hydrogen gas when reacted with metal
- Feels slippery or soapy (opposite of acidic)
- Turns litmus paper blue (opposite of red)
