Explanation: pH is the measure of acidity and alkalinity.

Acids are substances which give in water. They are corrosive in nature and are mostly sour in taste. The pH of acids ranges from 1 to 7.

Bases are substances which give in water. They are corrosive and slippery in nature. The pH of bases ranges from 7 to 14.

Neutral solutions have pH of 7.

Thus as oven cleaner is corrosive and has a slippery feel, it is basic in nature and thus have pH above 10.
