Aqueous solutions of many metal cations have a pH different from 7. Which one of the following statements about these cations is not correct?
A) Alkali metal cations such as Na+ and K+ have a negligible effect on the pH.
B) Small and highly charged main group metals such as Al3+ produce acidic aqueous solutions.
C) For transition metal cations, the cation with the higher oxidation state produces the more acidic solution; for example, Fe3+(aq) is more acidic than Fe2+(aq) .
D) A solution containing Cr2+ is expected to be considerably more acidic than a solution of equal concentration containing Ni2+.
E) The Lewis acidity of a metal cation is a good measure of its ability to activate a water molecule to lose a proton and produce a hydronium ion.
