Answer:

Concentrate it.

Explanation:

I got it right on the test.

Answer 2

Explanation:

An acid is a substance that produces excess hydroxonium ions in solution.

An acid based on the pH scale is a substance that has a low pH. Acid lies within a range of 1-7 on the pH scale.

• A pH of 7 is for neutral compounds like water.
• A pH greater that 7 is for basic compounds.
• In order to raise the pH, we are driving at a substance becoming more neutral or basic.

This can be achieved by adding more base to the solution of the substance. When we add more base, hydroxyl ions will neutralize the excess hydroxonium ions and drag the pH towards that of neutrality.

Addition of more base can eventually make the substance basic.
