Question

Which of the following is true? A)A neutral solution contains [H₂O] = [H₃O⁺] B)A neutral solution does not contain any H₃O⁺ or OH^- C)An acidic solution has [H₃O⁺] > [OH⁻] D)A basic solution does not contain H₃O⁺ E)None of the above are true.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an acidic solution, there is an excess of H+ ions, which will react with the H₃O to form more H+ ions and create a higher concentration of [H₃O⁺] than [OH⁻]. Option A and B are incorrect because a neutral solution has equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions, and may contain both H₃O and OH^-. Option D is incorrect because basic solutions can contain H₃O⁻ ions.
