If you mix equal amounts of solution A with a pH of 2 and solution B with a pH of 8 is it acidic or basic?

A solution with a pH of 2 is strongly acidic. Remember, 7 is neutral, anything below 7 is acid, anything above 7 is basic or alkaline.

Will mixing equal quantities of 1m solutions of the following give an acidic basic or neutral solution?
neutrial
Is it true that solutions that have an equal concentration of H plus ions and OH- are considered acidic?
False - such a solution is considered "neutral"...neither acidic nor alkaline (basic).
What are solutions that have an equal concentration of H plus ions and OH- ions considered as?
Such a solution would be considered "neutral" - neither acidic nor alkaline (basic). It would have a pH of 7.
A substance with equal numbers of H and OH ions is an alkaline solution?
No, only exces of OH- gives you an alkaline solution and exces of H+ gives you an acidic solution. When they are EQUAL then the solution (water) is NEUTRAL, pH= 7.0
How can you tell that the solution contains a weak acid?
There are equal amounts of water and acid.

What does pH balanced mean?
Being pH balanced means that the substance has a neutral pH of 7. This means that there are equal amounts and strengths of acidic and basic substances.
How do the concentrations of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion determine whether a solution is acidic basic or neutral?
A high concentration of hydrogen ion indicates that the solution is acidic, while a high concentration of hydroxide ion makes the solution basic. When the concentration of hydroxide ion is equal to hydrogen ion the solution is basic.
What helps determine if a solution is a acid or basic?
If a solution have a higher concentration of H+ ions, then the solution is an acidic solution. If a solution has a higher concentration of OH- ions, then the solution is a basic solution. The above is an overly simplistic and inaccurate description. Actually it is only the concentration of a type of ion called pi-Hydronium or pH, which have the formula H2OH+. More pi-Hydronium ions (lower pH number) the solution is acidic, same number of pi-Hydronium ions as pure water (pH number exactly 7) the solution is neutral, fewer pi-Hydronium ions (higher pH number) the solution is basic. With solvents other than water, while H+ ions might be able to form, the solution cannot be acidic or basic as pi-Hydronium ions cannot form.

Is the pH of a water sample lowered more when equal amounts of CO2 or SO2 are introduced?
Of course both are acidic gases!
Is it possible to have an acid solution having strength 0.00000001 M hydrogen ions with a pH of 8?
The pH is define in the following way: pH = -log [H+] What that means is the pH is the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. So, if you have a pH = 8, that means that the concentration of H+ is equal to 1*10-8 molar, because -log(1*10-8) = 8.And 1*10-8 is equal to 0.00000001, and so if the concentration of H+ is equal to 0.00000001 M, than the pH of the solution is 8 However, a solution with pH = 8 is considered BASIC, not acidic. If the pH is less than 7, it is acidic. If the pH = 7, the solution is neutral, and if the pH is greater than 7, it is considered basic.So the numbers are correct, but the solution is not called acidic.
Which pH values indicates a slightly acidic solution?
If the pH scale shows a colour between red and light green, then it is acidic. When the colour is light green, then it is neutral. When it shows colour between light green and dark blue, then it is basic. For numerical values:- 0-7:- Acidic 7:- Neutral 7-14:- basic
Is lithium nitrate acidic or basic?
No.Since, lithium nitrate (LiNO3) is a salt of strong acid and strong base,there willbe approximately equal amounts of H and OH ions in its water solution.Therefore,it will be neutral to litmus.THerefore,it is neither acid nor base but,it is neutral.
