Do basic solutions also have `H^(+)(aq)` ions? If yes, then why are these basic?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Even the basic solutions have hydrogen ion [`H^(+)` (aq) ions] in them which come from the ionisation of water in which the base is dissolved. They are basic because the concentration of hydroxide ions [`OH^(-)` ions in them is muich more than the concentration of hydrogen ions.
