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?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The pH of a solution is inversely proportional to its hydrogen ion concentration. This means that the solution having lower pH will have more hydrogen ion concentration. Thus, solution A will have more hydrogen ion concentration .
A solution with `pH lt 7` is acidic. Hence , solution A is acidic.
A solution with `pH gt 7` is basic . Hence , solution B is basic .
