Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
As the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) increases, the:
A
solution becomes more basic.
B
solution becomes more acidic.
C
pH rises.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you add acid to a solution the concentration of hydrogen ions (acidity) increases and the pH decreases.

Detailed explanation-2: –As [H+] increases pH goes down towards 0 and the solution becomes more acidic, as [H+] decreases pH goes up towards 14 and the solution becomes more basic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Summary. The plasma pH is defined as −log [H+]; when [H+] increases, the pH decreases. The condition of high plasma pH is called alkalosis; low plasma pH is acidosis.
