It can be either. A solution with excess hydronium ions is one that is acidic, regardless of how strong the acid is.
acid
Any acid or base should do the trick.Any compound with excess hydrogen ions (H+) or excess hydroxide ions (OH-). Also, any compound that absorbs hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-).
Acidity is produced by an excess of hydrogen ions (actually to be completely correct an excess of pi-hydronium ions) in a water solution. So, yes.
Maybe if you asked the question properly, we could answer.
No. Carbonic Acid releases hydrogen ins and lowers pH. Carbonates and bicarbonates, which can be derived from it, do bind hydrogen ions and lower pH.
If it is in water (supposedly meant by questioneer), the pH value is below 7.0, so it is an acid solution: more H+ than OH-
Acid.
acid or acidic
acid produces H+ ions base produces OH- ions
add barium chloride or barium nitrate to a solution containing sulphate ions SO4 2-. To the same solution add hydrochloric acid in excess. OBSERVATIONS, a white precipitate which is insoluble in excess acid confirms presence of SO42- IF IT DISSOLVES then it confirms SO32- ----------------------------------------- 1) Add barium nitrate solution under acidic conditions (use an equal volume of hydrochloric acid) to the unknown solution 2) A white precipitate of barium sulphate forms if sulphate ions are present
Acidic solutions contain very high concentrations of hydrogen ions. In an acidic solution, then, the concentration of hydrogen ions is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions.
