Answer:
A basic solution can be formed when a METAL OXIDE is dissolved in water.
Explanation:
pH is defined as the measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. In the pH scale measurement of a solution, it can either be:
- acidic(a pH of less than 7),
- neutral( a pH of exactly 7) or
- basic (a pH more than 7).
Basic solutions contains more hydroxyl ions than hydrogen ion. It is an aqueous solution with a pH greater than 7. It can be formed when a METAL OXIDE is dissolved in water. Example of such metal oxide includes magnesium oxide which dissolves in water to form, an alkaline( basic) solution, magnesium hydroxide. I hope this helps, thanks.
