In a neutral solution the concentration of _____. a. hydrogen ions is less than the concentration of hydroxide ions b. water molecules is less than the concentration of hydrogen ions c. hydrogen ions is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions d. hydrogen ions is equal to the concentration of hydroxide ions e. water molecules is less than the concentration of hydroxide ions

Respuesta :

Answer:

In a neutral solution the concentration of hydrogen ions is equal to the concentration of hydroxide ions

Explanation:

When:

[H⁺] > [OH⁻]  the pH is acid, so the solution is practically acid.

When

[H⁺] < [OH⁻], the pH is basic, so the solution is practically basic

In neutral solutions:

[H⁺] = [OH⁻], so the pH is neutral (7)

pH > 7 → BASIC SOLUTIONS

pH < 7 → ACID SOLUTION
