Answer;
This because as the concentration of hydronium ions increases, pH decreases.
Explanation;
- The pH is the inverse measure of the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) in a solution.
- This means that as the concentration of hydronium ions increases, the pH increases. A solution with a lower pH is more acidic, meaning that it has high concentration of hydronium ions.
- As the concentration of hydronium ions decreases the pH increases. A solution with a higher pH is more basic, which means it has lower hydronium ions concentration.
