Answer:

False, because the pOH of a basic solution is less than 7 at 25°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the pOH of a solution is calculated with the pOH formula:

$pOH=-log\lbrack OH^-\rbrack$

The pOH values less than 7 represents basic solutions and pOH values greater than 7 represents more acidic solution.
