Question

The pH values of 4 solutions are A-1 B-9 C-3 D=13 Choose the incorrect statement:
a. A has higher concentration of hydronium ions than solution C
b. B has higher concentration of hydronium ions than solution D
c. A and B will turn red litmus solution into blue d. A is highly acidic while 8 is weakly basic​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The correct option is( c)

Answer 2

The incorrect statement is A and B will turn red litmus solution into blue

• A statement is correct because pH that lies between 1-6 are referred to as acidic pH. The pH between 1-3 are considered as highly acidic pH. Lower will be the number, more will be its acidic pH. So, the compounds with pH 1 are more acidic than those with pH 3. More will the acidic nature, more will be the concentration of hydrogen or hydronium ions. So, A has a higher concentration of hydronium ions.
• B statement is correct because pH that lies between 8-15 are basic. More will the number of pH, more will be the basic nature. So, the compound with pH 9 has a higher concentration of hydronium ions.
• C statement is incorrect because B is basic as its pH is 9. Bases are responsible for turning blue litmus red.
• D is correct because The pH between 1-3 are considered as highly acidic pH. pH that lies between 8-15 are basic.

Hence, the correct option is c.
