2. Answer;
An acid
Explanation;
- When acids are dissolved in water, the concentration of the acid decreases and it becomes dilute.
- It dissociates in water to give H+ ions or hydrogen ions.
- All acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions, therefore when added to water it increases the concentration of H+ ions in water, as water is a neutral substance whose concentration of H+ ions is equal to OH-.
