Answer:
Options B and C
Explanation:
Let's take a look at the options and get our answer by way of elimination. The basic definition of a neutral solution is given as;
A neutral solution is a substance which is neither acid nor basic . it has a PH of 7. it will have equal amount of H+ AND OH- ions in it.
a) a neutral solution does not contain any H3O+ or OH- This is wrong because take water as an example, it is neutral but contains both ions.
b) a neutral solution contains [H2O] = [H3O+]. This option is correct cause it is in line with the definition above.
c) an acidic solution has [H3O⁺] > [OH⁻]. Acidic solutions are any solution that has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than water. This option is correct.
d) a basic solution does not contain any H3O⁺. This option is wrong. Basic solutions are any solution that has a higher concentration of hydroxide ions than water. This means they contain H3O⁺ but [OH⁻] is greater.
