Question

An unknown solution has an H+ concentration of 10-12 moles per liter. Which of the following statements correctly describes this solution? The solution is basic in nature. The solution is acidic in nature. The solution is neutral in nature.

Answer 1

The solution is basic in nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A n acid is between 0 o 6, a pH of 7 is neutral and anything between 8 and 14 is considered basic. To know what the pH is we do the following calculations. pH = -log [H+] = -log (10^-12) = 12.0 With this in mind we can conclude that the solution is basic.
