Sodium hydroxide does not have a pH number. The pH of a solution of sodium hydroxide depends entirely on the concentration of it in that solution.
To learn how to determine the pH of a sodium hydroxide solution, see the Related Questions links.

∙ 12y agopH depends on quantity (concentration) and quality (strong or weak) of the compound.
In 0.10M (0.10 mol/L) solution of hydroxide (strong base) pH=13. At lower concentration it will be lower.

∙ 8y agoWe cannot tell you the pH without knowing the concentration.
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, so the pOH will be the same as the negative log of the molar concentration of sodium hydroxide. Since the pH is 14 - pOH, you can calculate the pH by subtracting the log of the sodium hydroxide concentration (in molar units) from 14. A 1 M solution of sodium hydroxide will have a pH of 14; a 0.1 M solution will have a pH of 13, and so on. This breaks down at very high concentrations; above 1 M the pH doesn't change much.

A solution of sodium hydroxide in water most likely to have a pH close to 14
Why sodium hydroxide is used in furosemide injection assay?
Sodium hydroxide is used in furosemide injection assay because sodium hydroxide is pH-control and sodium hydroxide control the solution or the solution in stable.

Why phenolphthalein is chosen as the suitable indicator for sodium hydroxide?
Sodium hydroxide is a base. And phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that changes color at around a pH of 8.4, so you can tell when your solution that endpoint.
Why is magnesium hydroxide used as an antacid instead of sodium hydroxide?
Sodium Hydroxide is way too basic (very high pH) and would cause internal damage.
What is sodium hydroxide in a PH scale?
Sodium Hydroxide or NaOH is a highly basic compound. On the pH scale it has a pH of 14.
Does sodium hydroxide have pH 7?
No, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) does not have a pH of 7. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and has a pH greater than 7. The pH of a solution of sodium hydroxide depends on its concentration. A 0.1 M solution of NaOH has a pH of 13.
What is the specific gravity of sodium hydroxide?
What is the pH of sodium hydroxide? What I determined from a wide range pH paper is that the pH of a .1 M solution of sodium hydroxide was that between 11 and 12.
What is sodium hydroxide pH level?
pH level is a measure of acidity, the simplest way to understand it is the lower the pH value the more acid something is, and the higher the pH value the more alkali something is. Finaly a value of pH 7 is neutral (neither acid or alkali).pH does not show the amount of Sodium Hydroxide present, however the pH would increase if Sodium Hydroxide was added because Sodium Hydroxide is alkali.The pH of concentrated (1 M) Sodium Hydroxide is 14.
What has a pH of 14?
sodium hydroxide
Can I lower the pH of sodium hydroxide with water?
Yes. Adding water to a solution of sodium hydroxide will dilute the NaOH and lower the pH.
Can sodium hydroxide produce pH of 4?
No, sodium hydroxide is a strong base so its pH must be higher than 7.
What has the highest pH value acetic acid or sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate or sulphuric acid?
sodium hydroxide
Would the pH of a sodium hydroxide solution be above or below 7?
NaOH is a base so it will produce a pH above 7.
A solution of sodium hydroxide in water most likely to have a pH close to?
A solution of sodium hydroxide in water most likely to have a pH close to 14
Why sodium hydroxide is used in furosemide injection assay?
Sodium hydroxide is used in furosemide injection assay because sodium hydroxide is pH-control and sodium hydroxide control the solution or the solution in stable.
Why does sodium hydroxide have a pH then vinegar?
If you mean greater than the pH of vinegar, then the answer is sodium hydroxide is a base, which means it will have a pH greater than 7, and vinegar is an acid, which means it will have a pH less than 7.
