(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) Yes, the basic solutions have H+ ions but the concentration of the ions are less than that of hydroxyl ions. Therefore, the solution becomes basic in nature.

(b) When a solution becomes more acidic, the pH becomes lower because in the pH scale the values lesser than 7 is acidic.
