    PH + pOH = 14

    pH = 14 - pOH

    pH = 14 - 8.7

    pH = 5,3

    This solution is acidic.

    If pH<7 - acidic

    If pH=7 - neutral

    If pH>7 - basic

    pOH scale is used to determine the basicity of a solution

    pH scale is used to determine the acidity of a solution

    pH and pOH are related in the following formula

    pH + pOH = 14

    once pOH is known we can calculate pH

    pOH = 8.7

    pH = 14 - 8.7

    pH = 5.3

    pH of the solution is 5.3

    when pH is less than 7 the solution is said to be acidic

    when pH is equal to 7 then solution is neutral

    when pH is more than 7 then solution is basic

    the pH of the solution here is 5.3 which is less than 7, therefore solution is acidic

    acidic solution with pH of 5.3
