Answer is: B. The greater the pH is, the lower the acidity is.

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.

When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.

When is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is neutral.  

When pH is greater than seven (pH > 7), solution is basic.  

An acid is a molecule or ion capable of donating proton or hydrogen ion H⁺.

For example, hydrochloric acid( HCl) is acidic, it ionizes in water solution and gives the hydrogen cations and chloride anions (Cl⁻):  

HCl(aq) → Cl⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Which model of acids and bases would NOT define NH3 as a base (even though it is considered one by the other models)?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) Arrhenius</em>

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept of acids and bases, an acid must produce H+ ions when it is present in a solution and the base must produce OH- ions when placed in a solution.

Ammonia does not contain OH- ions of its own when dissolved in water.

The reaction of ammonia dissolving is water can be written as:

NH3     +    H2O     ⇌   NH4+ + OH−

As we can see from the equation, ammonia does form OH- ions but it does not have OH- ions on its own.

Hence, according to the Arrhenius concept, NH3 is not a base.
