What effect does the concentration of H+(aq) ions have on the nature of the solution?
ScienceClass 10CBSEAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Solution: Hydrogen ion concentration decides the nature of the solution. If Hydrogen ion concentration increase, then the solution turns acidic and similarly, if Hydrogen ion concentration decreases, then the solution turns basic.
