Question 1

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?

Answer

Solution A is acidic with more hydrogen ion concentration. Solution B is basic.

Explanation

A solution with a pH value below 7 is considered acidic, indicating a higher concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). Conversely, a solution with a pH greater than 7 is classified as basic, indicating a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-).
