A high concentration of OH⁻ ions indicates that the solution is basic. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with a pH of 7 being neutral, pH values below 7 being acidic, and pH values above 7 being basic.
Given the options provided:
- A pH of 2 is acidic.
- A pH of 5 is also acidic.
- A pH of 7 is neutral.
- A pH of 9 is basic.
Since the presence of a high concentration of OH⁻ ions suggests a basic solution, the most likely pH of the solution would be **9**.
