Question

Which of the following statements describes a basic solution? A)[H₃O⁺] > [OH^-] B)[H₃O⁺] < [OH^-] C)[H₃O⁺] × [OH^-] ≠ 1 × 10^-14 D)[H₃O⁺]/[OH^-] = 1 × 10^-14 E)[H₃O⁺]/[OH^-] = 1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A basic solution is characterized by a higher concentration of hydroxide ions ([OH-]) than hydrogen ions ([H+]), which means [OH-] > [H+].
