Which statement is true for a solution when its concentration of hydroxide ions increases? it becomes more acidic. it becomes less alkaline. its ph value increases. its ph value decreases.

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we increase the concentration of a substance then it means we are increasing number of molecules of the substance. So, when there is increase in concentration of hydroxide ions the it means there are more number of ions into the solution.

Also, it is known that pOH =

Since there is increase in concentration so, this means that there will be decrease in the value of pOH.

Also,   pH + pOH = 14

so,                pH = 14 - pOH

                    pH = +ve

Thus, we can conclude that there will be increase in the value of pH.

1. a)c-14 has two more protons

2. d)they have different numbers of protons, neutrons, and valence electrons; they are all gases at room temperature.

3. c) iron and nickel.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
