Question

Identify the nature of the following aqueous solutions (whether acidic, basic or neutral)(a) Solution A: [H+] < [OH–](b) Solution B: [H+] > [OH–](c) Solution C: [H+] = [OH–]

Answer 1

Answer:

a) basic

b) acidic

c) neutral

Explanation:

a) OH- is directly propotional to basic character

=> solution is basic

b) H+ is directly propotional to acidic character

=> solution is acidic

c) as OH- is equal to H+ so acidic nature is equla to basic nature . hence neutral solution
