Say i were to mix a basewith a pH of say 8, with a pH 14. what would my final pH be? 11?

pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. It is important because it affects the chemical reactions and processes that occur within the solution. pH can also impact the properties of substances dissolved in the solution, such as their solubility and reactivity.
pH can be measured using a pH meter or through the use of indicators, which change color depending on the pH of the solution. The most commonly used scale for measuring pH ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral, values below 7 being acidic, and values above 7 being basic.
When solutions with different pHs are mixed, the resulting pH will depend on the relative amounts of each solution. If the solutions have similar pHs, the resulting pH will be close to the initial pH. If the solutions have very different pHs, the resulting pH will be somewhere in between the two initial pHs.
In most cases, the resulting pH of a mixture can be predicted using the principles of acid-base chemistry. However, this may not always be accurate due to factors such as the presence of buffers or reactions between the solutions that can affect the pH.
The pH of a mixture can be affected by changes in temperature, particularly for reactions that involve heat release or absorption. This is because temperature can affect the rate and extent of chemical reactions, which in turn can impact the concentrations of acidic or basic substances in the solution and thus the resulting pH.
