(a) Do basic solutions also have H+ (aq) ions? If yes, then why are they basic?
(b) When a solution becomes more acidic, does the pH get higher or lower?
(a) All the basic solutions have H+ ions but their concentration of them will be less than that of hydroxide ions OH- and thus they become basic.
(b) When the solution becomes more acidic, the pH will get lower because on the pH scale values lesser than 7 are acidic substances.
