Bases Have

Question

Bases have
A) a pH less than 7
B) more H+ ions than OH- ions
C) a pH greater than 7
D) both A and B

Accepted Answer

Bases have a pH greater than 7 because they have more OH- ions than H+ ions, which makes the solution more basic or alkaline. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution, not a basic solution. Option B is incorrect because bases have more OH- ions than H+ ions, so they have fewer H+ ions than OH- ions.
