A lab assistant prepared a solution by adding a calculated quantity of `HCl` gas `25^(@)C` to get a solution with `[H_(2)O^(+)]=4xx10^(-5)M`. Is the solution with `[H_(2)O^(+)]=4xx10^(-5)M`. Is the solution neutral (or) acidic (or) basic.

Explanation

Given the `[H^(+)]` concentration is `4xx10^(-5)M`. If the `[H^(+)]` concentration lies in between `10^(-0)` to `10^(-6)`, the solution is acidic. The given solution has the `[H^(+)]` concentration of `10^(-5)` order. Hence the solution is acidic.
