What would happen to a solution when it becomes more acidic what happens to its pH?
The pH gets lower as the acidity increases.
Is A solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 7.4?
A solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than one with a pH of 7.4. Any solution with a lower pH is more acidic, and any with a higher pH is more alkaline.
Higher the number on the pH scale the more acidic a solution?
The solution is basic.
Is acidic or basic a solution?
You seem to be confused. acidic and basic are not things, they are properties. For example, vinegar is a solution, and it is acidic, because in solution, it dissolves to release hydrogen ions. Basic solutions, such as bleach, either accept hydronium ions in solution, or release hydroxide ions in solution. But all solutions, with the exception of distilled water, is either definatively acidic or basic. Look up a pH meter or a pH scale. The lower the number, the more acidic a solution is. The higher the number is, the more basic a solution is, and if it is 7.0, then it is neutral.
The lower the pH is it more acidic or more of a base?
pH is the logarithm(base 10) of hydronium concentration, and higher acidity is higher Hydronium ion concentration(H+ ion, which is produced by acids). so higher H+ concentration yields a lower pH.

Is pH of a basic solution higher or lower than pH of a acid solution?
A basic pH is higher than an acidic or neutral pH.
The pH of any neutral aqueous solution is always?
7, lower is acidic, higher is basic.
Is A solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than a solution with a pH of 7.4?
A solution with a pH of 5.2 is more acidic than one with a pH of 7.4. Any solution with a lower pH is more acidic, and any with a higher pH is more alkaline.
Higher the number on the pH scale the more acidic a solution?
The solution is basic.
What is the measure of how acidic or basis a solution is?
pH 1-14 7 is neutral anything lower is an acid. higher is a base
What is a solution concidered if it has a pH lower than 7?
Acidic solution.
What is true about the relative concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in an acid solution?
In an acidic solution, the relative concentration of hydronium ions will always be higher than hydroxide ions. This means that the relatively concentration of hydroxide ions will always be lower than hydronium ions in an acidic solution. The reason for this is that in a neutral solution, the concentration of both hydronium ions and hydroxides ions are equal (both are 10-7). By making the concentration of hydronium ions greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions, the solution becomes acidic.

What happens when the pH solution is lower?
When adding a strong acid to an acidic solution pH decreases. Adding a strong base to an acidic solution the pH increases.
Should you look for a compound with a pH lower than 7 or higher than 7 acid solution?
pH under 7: acidic solution.pH over 7: basic solution.
The lower the pH is it more acidic or more of a base?
pH is the logarithm(base 10) of hydronium concentration, and higher acidity is higher Hydronium ion concentration(H+ ion, which is produced by acids). so higher H+ concentration yields a lower pH.
