Answer: b.more acidic the solution
Explanation:
pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Acids are substances which gives [tex]H^+[/tex] ions when dissolved in water.
[tex]HX\rightarrow H^++X^-[/tex]
pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex]
[tex]pH=log\frac {1}{H^+}[/tex]
Thus as pH and [tex]H^+[/tex] are inversely related, a solution having lower pH will have more amount of [tex]H^+[/tex] concentration , a lower amount of [tex]OH^_[/tex] concentration and will be more acidic.
