The pH value of a solution is 5.9. If the hydrogen ion concentration is decreased hundred times, the solution will be______________?

Correct answer: A. Basic

  • A. Basic
  • B. More acidic
  • C. Neutral
  • D. Of the same acidity

Reducing hydrogen-ion concentration by 100 increases pH by 2 units, from 5.9 to 7.9. Since the final pH is above 7, the solution is basic.
