You have two solutions, A and B. The pH of solution A is 6 and pH of solution B is 8. Which solution has more hydrogen ion concentration? Which of this is acidic and which one is basic?

Explanation

The pH of a solution is inversely proportional to the concentration of `H^(+)` ions in solution. Lesser the pH of the solution, more will be the `H^(+)` ion concentration. The solution A with pH 6 has more `H^(+)` ion concentration than the solution with pH equal to 8. Thte solution A is acidic because its pH is less than 7 and the solution B is basic because its pH is more than 7.
