A higher pH corresponds to _____ . A) a higher [H⁺] B) a lower [H⁺] C) no change in [OH⁺] D) a lower [OH^-]

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A higher pH corresponds to a lower concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). Since [H⁺] is a conjugate acid and is formed from the reaction of H+ with the corresponding base, increasing pH will lead to a decrease in [H⁺]. Therefore, B is the correct answer. The other answer choices either contain species that are not directly affected by changes in pH or are not relevant to this question.
