Which description correctly characterizes the acidity or basicity of a solution?

a. the higher the ph is, the more the hydroxide ion concentration decreases and the more acidic the solution becomes.
b. the higher the ph is, the more the hydroxide ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes.
c. the lower the ph is, the more the hydronium ion concentration decreases and the more acidic the solution becomes.
d. the lower the ph is, the more the hydronium ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes.

The correct answer is: (b) The higher the pH is, the more the hydroxide ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes

the explanation:

when PH+POH = 14

from this formula we can see that if the PH increase so, POH decrease .

and when POH = - ㏒[OH-]

from this formula we can see that when POH decrease so, [OH-] is increase

- so from the two formulas we can get that when PH be high so [OH-] increase so, he basicity increase.

B The higher the pH is, the more the hydroxide ion concentration increases and the more basic the solution becomes.

Explanation:

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
