In a solution of pH of 2, there is more hydrogen ions then hydroxide ions because hydroxide ions only form with a pH pf 7 or more.
Note: There are comments associated with this question. See the Discuss:What_can_you_say_about_the_amount_of_hydrogen_ions_relative_to_the_amount_of_hydrogen_ions_in_a_solution_that_has_a_pH_of_2to add to the conversation.
If the solution is basic, there are more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. In an acidic solution, there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions. The balance between these ions determines the pH of a solution.
A neutral solution has an equal number of hydronium ions (H3O+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) present, resulting in a balanced pH of 7. This equilibrium reflects the concentration of hydrogen ions being equal to the concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution.
An Arrhenius acid has only hydrogen ions in solution.
Yes, hydrogen ions are more acidic than hydroxide ions. Hydrogen ions contribute to acidity by releasing protons in solution, while hydroxide ions are actually the base component that reacts with hydrogen ions to neutralize them.
A solution with a pH greater than 7 will contain more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. These solutions are considered basic or alkaline. Examples include solutions of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH).
The conclusion that can be made about the portion of hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions in a solution that has a pH of 7 is that they are equal. The quantities pH + pOH, which are derived from the concentrations of hydroxide and hydrogen ions, will always have a sum of 14. The ratio of hydrogen and hydroxide in a single water molecule is 1:1.

The concentration of hydrogen ions would decrease because when hydroxide ions react with hydrogen ions, they form water. This reaction reduces the overall concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.
A solution with a pH greater than 7 will contain more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. These solutions are considered basic or alkaline. Examples include solutions of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH).
An acidic solution has a greater number of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions. However, technically they are hydronium ions (H3O+), not hydrogen ions.
False
No. A pH of 10 is basic, which means, by definition, that it has more hydroxide ions than hydronium* ions. *Acids and bases are not measured with hydrogen atoms but the effect is the same.
A solution with more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions is basic in nature. It has a pH above 7, indicating it is alkaline. Examples include solutions of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
A base does this. The hydroxide (OH-) ion appears in solution. An acid produces hydrogen (or hydronium) ions in solution, and not hydroxide ions.
