Question

An acid has ________ hydrogen ions than a base. a. less b. the same number of c. more d. none of the above

Answer 1

An acid has c. more hydrogen ions than a base.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acid : These are those substance which when dissolved in water gives hydrogen ions in their solutions.They pH value less than 7.

They have higher concentration of hydrogen ion in comparison to concentration of hydroxide ions.

`HA(aq)\rightarrow H^++A^-`

Base : These are those substance which when dissolved in water gives hydroxide ions in their solutions. They have pH value more than 7.

`BOH(aq)\rightarrow B^++OH^-`

They have higher concentration of hydroxide ion in comparison to concentration of hydrogen ions.
