Do basic solutions also have H+ (aq) ions? If yes, then why are they basic? (b) When a solution becomes more acidic, does the pH get higher or lower?

Answer
(a) All the basic solutions have H+ ions but the concentration of them will be less as that of hydroxide ions and thus becomes basic
(b) When the solution becomes more acidic the pH will get lower because in the pH scale the values lesser than 7 is acidic
