Which of the following is true?
a. A neutral solution contains [H₂O] = [H₃O⁺]
b. A neutral solution does not contain any H₃O⁺ or OH⁻
c. An acidic solution has [H₃O⁺] > [OH⁻]
d. A basic solution does not contain H₃O⁺
e. All statements are false

Respuesta :

Answer: The true answer is E.

Explanation: It's the correct answer because

A. It's false because a neutral solution contains the same concentration of acid and base. In this ecuation doesn't have the acid which react with the water to produce H3O+

For example: HCl + H2O = Cl- + H3O+

B. A neutral solution must contain H3O+ or OH- in equal concentrations to equilibrate the way

C. An acidic solution has [OH-] > [H3O+], the negative charge from OH- in high concentrations is which provide acidic solution.

D. A basic solution does contain H3O+, in high concentrations than acidic solutions.

The answer is C because acidic solutions contain higher concentrations of H3O than OH
