Its pH value decreases.

Explanation:

I got it right on the test :)

Answer 2

The true statement for a solution when its concentration of hydronium ions increases then pH decreases.

What is pH?

pH of any solution is used to define the acidity, basicity or neutrality of the solution.

• pH ranges from 0 to 6.9 shows acidity.
• pH 0 shows the neutrality.
• pH ranges from 7.1 to 14 shows basicity.

pH will be calculated as:

pH = -log[H⁺]

From the equation it is clear that concentration of hydronium ion increases, pH value decreases and acidity increases.

Hence, pH value decreases as hydronium ion increases.
