A solution with a pH less than 7 is called a(n)_____________ and has a higher number of ___________ than a solution with a pH greater than 7.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A solution with a pH less than 7 is acidic and has a higher concentration of H+ ions than a solution with a pH greater than 7, which is basic. Therefore, option B is correct. Choice A is incorrect because a base has a pH greater than 7 and a lower concentration of H+ ions. Choice C is incorrect because a base has a higher concentration of OH- ions, and the question asks about a solution with a pH less than 7. Similarly, Choice D is incorrect because an acid does not have a higher number of OH- ions. Choice E is incorrect because bases have a higher concentration of OH- ions and a lower concentration of H+ ions.
