What is the pH of a solution in which the number of H+ ions equals the number of OH- ions?
A) 0-2
B) 3-6
C) 7
D) 8-10
E) 11-14
pH Solution
A measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, on a scale of 0 to 14, where 7 is neutral, values below 7 are acidic, and values above 7 are alkaline.
Ions
Atoms or molecules with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
- Identify the differences between solutions that are acidic and those that are basic.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The equation given in the problem suggests that the solution is neutral, meaning that the number of H+ ions (from the H+ ion) is equal to the number of OH- ions (from the OH- ion), resulting in a pH of 7.
