Which of the following statements is incorrect ?
i.K_w = [H⁺][OH^-] = 1.0 × 10^-14 at 25°C.
ii.Water or water solutions in which [H⁺] = [OH^-] = 10^-7 M are neutral solutions,neither acidic nor basic.
iii.A solution in which [H⁺] > [OH^-] is basic
iv.A solution in which [OH^- ] > [H⁺] is acidic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statements iii and iv are incorrect because they mistakenly swap the definitions of acidic and basic solutions. In a basic solution, the concentration of hydroxide ions ([OH^-]) is greater than the concentration of hydrogen ions ([H^+]), not the other way around as stated in iii. Conversely, in an acidic solution, the concentration of hydrogen ions ([H^+]) is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions ([OH^-]), contrary to what is stated in iv.
