Question

A substance with a ph of 9 has

Answer 1

Answer:

c) more OH⁻ ions than H₃O⁺ ions

Explanation:

A substance with a PH of 9 implies that it has more OH⁻ ions than H₃O⁺ ions.

Such substances are said to be an alkaline or a base.

A base is a substance the produces excess hydroxyl ion in aqueous solutions.

An acid will produce excess hydroxonium ions in a solution.

So, the pH scale is used to indicate whether a substance is an acid or base or non of them.

Acids have pH of less than 7

Bases have pH of > 7
