Which of the following is TRUE? a neutral solution does not contain any H3O+ or OH- a neutral solution contains [H2O] = [H3O+] an acidic solution has [H3O⁺] > [OH⁻] a basic solution does not contain any H3O⁺

Respuesta :

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.

The true statement is an acidic solution has [H3O⁺] > [OH⁻].

ACIDIC SOLUTION:

  • An acidic solution is a solution that contains high concentration of hydrogen (H+) or hydronium ions (H3O+).

  • A basic solution contains high concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) while a neutral solution contains an equal concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions.

  • An acidic or basic solution contains more of H3O+ or OH- respectively as the case may be.

  • Therefore, the true statement in this question is that: an acidic solution has [H3O⁺] > [OH⁻].
