Basic solutions form when chemicals are dissolved in water and remove

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Basic solutions form when chemicals release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water, which can then react with hydrogen ions (H+) to form water and increase the pH of the solution. Therefore, the removal of H+ is necessary for the formation of a basic solution. Choice A (OH- removal) would result in an acidic solution, and Choice C (Na+ removal) would not affect the pH of the solution. Therefore, the best choice is B.
