Which description correctly characterizes the acidity or basicity of a solution?

a. the higher the ph is, the more the hydroxide ion concentration decreases and the more acidic the solution becomes.
b. the higher the ph is, the more the hydroxide ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes.
c. the lower the ph is, the more the hydronium ion concentration decreases and the more acidic the solution becomes.
d. the lower the ph is, the more the hydronium ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes.

The correct answer is: (b) The higher the pH is, the more the hydroxide ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes

the explanation:

when PH+POH = 14

from this formula we can see that if the PH increase so, POH decrease .

and when POH = - ㏒[OH-]

from this formula we can see that when POH decrease so, [OH-] is increase

- so from the two formulas we can get that when PH be high so [OH-] increase so, he basicity increase.

B The higher the pH is, the more the hydroxide ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes.

Explanation:

it would be d. henry moseley

hope this !

and sorry if i'm late. have a good rest of your day! : d

a). in this case, dh> 0 and sd> 0. if t becomes larger, the term "-tds" will become more negative. at some point, it is possible that -dts will be more negative than the dh is positive, and the reaction will become spontaneous. this is probably the correct answer, but you should look at all of the other possibilities and make sure of that.
