Question

A solution containing an equal number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions isA. basicB. alkalineC. acidicD. neutral.

Answer 1

Neutral (Option D)

Step-by-step explanation:

[H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] → Neutral solution pH = 7

[H₃O⁺] < [OH⁻] → Alkaline / Basic solution pH > 7

[H₃O⁺] > [OH⁻] → Acidic solution pH < 7
