Question restatement: Which of the following represents the most acidic solution?

Option 1: pOH = 14.7
- This implies pH = 14 − 14.7 = −0.7. A negative pH corresponds to a very high hydrogen ion concentration, roughly [H+] ≈ 10^0.7 ≈ 5 M. That is an extremely acidic solution, more so than the other options. This makes it a strong contender for the most acidic.

Option 2: [H3O+] = 1.0 M
- An hydronium concentration of 1 M corresponds to pH = 0. This is strongly acidic, but we should compare it to the other options. On the surface, 1 M H3O+ is highly acidic, but not necessarily the highest if another option implies a pH below 0.

Option 3: [OH−] = 1.0 × 10−14 M
- If [OH−] = 1×10−14 M, then using Kw ≈ 1.0×10−14 at 25°C, [H3O+] ≈ Kw / [OH−] = (1.0×10−14) / (1.0×10−14) = 1 M. This leads to pH = 0, matching Option 2 in terms of acidity. So this option does not exceed the acidity implied by 1.0 M H3O+; it is essentially equally acidic to Option 2.

Option 4: pH = 3.6
- A pH of 3.6 corresponds to [H3O+] ≈ 10^−3.6 ≈ 2.5×10^−4 M. This is clearly less acidic than the 1 M scenarios and far less acidic than any situation with pH near 0 or negative. It is among the least acidic options here.

Putting this together, we compare acidity by hydrogen ion concentration (or equivalently, pH). The pOH 14.7 case yields pH = −0.7, which corresponds to a higher [H3O+] (~5 M) than the 1.0 M case, and thus represents the most acidic scenario among the options provided.

Summary of correctness assessment:
- Option 1 (pOH = 14.7) implies a negative pH and a very large [H3O+], making it the most acidic among the choices.
- Option 2 ([H3O+] = 1.0 M) is very acidic (pH 0) but not as acidic as the pH of −0.7 implied by Option 1.
- Option 3 ([OH−] = 1.0 × 10−14 M) leads to [H3O+] ≈ 1 M, same acidity level as Option 2, not exceeding it.
- Option 4 (pH = 3.6) is the least acidic by comparison, given its relatively tiny [H3O+].
