Question

3x2=6
20. You have two solutions A and B. the pH of solution is 6 and pH of solution B is
10. Identify the solution that has more hydrogen ion concentration? which one of
these is acidic and which is a base?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A pH value of less than 7 indicates an acidic solution, while greater than 7 indicates a basic solution. Therefore, the solution with pH = 6 is acidic and has more hydrogen ion concentration than the solution of pH = 8 which is basic.

Answer 2

Solution A had pH value 6 which means lesser than neutral i.e. 7. So, it has more hydrogen ions and acidic since acids release hydrogen ions (H+)

Solution B has pH value 10 i.e. higher than neutral 7 and it gives off HO- ions ( Hydroxyl ions) making it a base
