Question

A solution with a pH of 5.0 would
A) be an acid solution
B) have more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions
C) be neutral

Accepted Answer

A solution with a pH of 5.0 is acidic because it has a pH less than 7, which means it has more hydrogen ions (H+) than hydroxide ions (OH-), making both statements A and B correct.
