|
As H+ concentration increases
|
|
pH value decreases
|
|
|
pH value increases
|
|
|
pH value is unaffected
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the concentration of H+(aq) ions decreases the pH will increase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Physiology. The pH of any fluid is inversely related to the hydrogen ion concentration [H+]. Increased [H+] results in decreased pH, which is termed acidemia, and decreased [H+] results in increased pH termed alkalemia.
Detailed explanation-3: -pH is decreased, when hydrogen ion concentration increases.
Detailed explanation-4: –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.
