Answer 1

The answer should be C, because oven cleaner is obviously acidic, which means it has a pH of over 7

Answer 2

Answer:

C)  

above 10

Explanation:

The likely pH of oven cleaner is above 10. Actually it can be around 13 or 14. This can be determined by the fact that it is highly caustic (corrosive) and that it feels slippery. It is a base and on the very high end of the pH scale.
