Question

A solution in which the molarity of the hydroxide ion is larger than the molarity of the hydronium ion is termed 1. amphiprotic. 2. electrolyte. 3. basic. 4. neutral. 5. acidic.

Answer 1

Answer: 3. basic

Step-by-step explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is measured by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ions concentration.

Electrolyte is a solution which contains ions dissolved in water and hence is a good conductor of electricity.

A basic solution has more concentration of
`OH^-` as compared to
`H^+`.

An neutral solution has equal concentration of
`H^+` as that of
`OH^-`.

An acidic solution has more concentration of
`H^+` as compared to
`OH^-`.
