Answer: The true answer is E.

Explanation: It's the correct answer because

A. It's false because a neutral solution contains the same concentration of acid and base. In this ecuation doesn't have the acid which react with the water to produce H3O+

For example: HCl + H2O = Cl - + H3O+

B. A neutral solution must contain H3O + or OH - in equal concentrations to equilibrate the way

C. An acidic solution has [OH-] > [H3O+], the negative charge from OH - in high concentrations is which provide acidic solution.

D. A basic solution does contain H3O+, in high concentrations than acidic solutions.

Bush · Answer 2

The answer is C because acidic solutions contain higher concentrations of H3O than OH
