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

Respuesta :

An unknown solution has an H+ concentration of 10-12 moles per litter, so it is a basic in nature.  Thus option A is correct.

What is a formula for calculation of pH?

As per given statement,

H+ = 10-12

And we know that formula for pH is given by:-

pH = -log[H+],

Putting the value of H+ ion in formula:-

pH = -log[10-12]

pH = 12

As per standard chart of pH, when pH varies from 0-6 it is acidic in nature, when it varies from 8-14 it is basic in nature, and when when it is 7 then it is neutral i.e water.

So the unknown solution has 12 pH. so we can say that it is basic in nature. Therefore option A is correct.
