A solution is measured to have a pH of 2.3. What is most likely also true about the solution? It has a low hydroxide ion concentration. It has a low hydronium ion concentration. It is neutral. It has no H2O molecules.

OpenStudy (somy):

well anything less than 7 is acid anything more than 7 is base H3O+ is to do with acidity OH- is to do with basic

OpenStudy (somy):

so what do u think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

low PH means highly acidic so 2.3 is highly acidic

OpenStudy (somy):

so the option that best fits is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either A or B

OpenStudy (somy):

which? this is a bit tricky so think carefully

OpenStudy (somy):

if its highly acidic what would u expect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (somy):

bingo! when its highly acidic that means there are MORE hydronium ions which means LESS hydroxide ions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :D

OpenStudy (somy):

u r welcome :)
