What is the pH range of acidic solutions?
BeginnerShow answer & explanation
Below 7
Acidic solutions have a pH less than 7. A pH of exactly 7 is neutral, and pH greater than 7 indicates basicity.
Which ion is responsible for the acidic properties of a solution?
IntermediateShow answer & explanation
Hydrogen ion (H⁺)
Acids release hydrogen ions (H⁺) in solution, which are responsible for their acidic properties. Hydroxide ions are responsible for basic properties.
