Pure water is neutral in pH, thus has: a) No hydrogen ions (H+) b.) no hydroxide ions (OH-) c) no hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions. d) an equal number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. e) Seven times more hydroxide ions.

If a solution is considered to be basic, which of the following is true about the hydroxide ion concentration? A:the concentration of the hydroxide is less than the concentration of the hydronium ion B:the concentration of the hydroxide ion is equal to the concentration of the hydronium ion C:the concentration of the hydroxide ion is greater than the concentration of the hydronium ion D:the concentration of the hydroxide ion does not matter when determining whether a solution is acidic or basic
