A substance with equal numbers of H+ ions and OH- ions is a basic solution. This is False. It will be neutral.

Answer: False

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9, bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14 and neutral solutions have pH equal to 7.

[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex]

[tex]pOH=-\log[OH^-][/tex]

When the concentration of [tex][H^+]=[OH^-][/tex], the solution is neutral, [tex]H^+[/tex]> [tex]OH^-[/tex] , the solution is acidic and if [tex]H^+[/tex]< [tex]OH^-[/tex] , the solution is basic.
