1) Well, you need to logically think about which of the pecan trees would be better. Tree 3 may have more clusters but they taste bitter so this is out of the option. So Tree 4 and Tree 1 would be best because they both have rich and buttery tastes and they both have a lot of clusters.
2) Not quite sure about this one, sorry :(
PH=-log[H⁺]
pH=-log(1.87×10⁻¹³)
pH=12.72
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
