If the pH of a solution is raised from 6.27 to 7.57 A) the solution has gone from acidic to basic B) [H₃O⁺] has increased by a factor of 10 C) [OH^-] has increased by a factor of 10 D) the new [OH^-] = 2.7 × 10^-8 E) the new [H₃O⁺] = 5.4 × 10^-7

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with a pH of 7 being neutral. As the pH of the solution has increased from 6.27 to 7.57, it has moved closer to a pH of 7, indicating that the solution has become less acidic and more basic. Choices B, C, D, and E involve changes in concentrations of specific ions or molecules, but there is not enough information given in the question to determine these changes.
