Question

Which of the following statements about acidic water is true? a. Acid has no effect on the H,O molecules. b. The solution contains a larger number of OH ions than H,O ions. c. The solution contains a larger number of H,O ions than QH ions. d. The solution contains an equal number of H,O ions and OH ions. none of the above e.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Hydronium (H₃O+) is the same as H+ (aq) because of the same net charge. The acidic property of a solvent or solution is governed the amount of H+ ion in it. The higher the H+ ions the lower the pH. In pure water H₃O+ and OH- are in equal amount. More of OH- ions turn the solution basic.
