When a solution has more H ions than OH- ions is it an acid or base?

base because basic solutions can decompose to hydroxide ions
when hydrogen is in a solution it is an acid for the same reason.
hope that helps!

Is H3O Lewis acid or base?
A basic solution has more OH- ions A solution with more H3O+ is acidic.
An aqueous solution that contains more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions is a acid?
No, it's a base
How does acid strength affect electrical conductivity?
The strength of an acid depends of the number of hydrogen ions in solution- the stronger the acid the more hydrogen ions there are in solution. Hydrogen ions in solution carry current, therefore the more hydrogen ions in the solution the more current there will be carried through solution.
What contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions a base or an acid?
Acid.
Are hydronium ions contributed to a solution by a base or acid?
Acids have more hydronium than hydroxide. Bases are the reverse of that.

What acid is a solution with more what?
H+ than OH- (more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions). This is what makes acid, acid, and not water, or base, or anything else.

How is a acid and a base different?
An acid has more H+ ions than OH- ions, while a base has more OH- ions than H+ ions.
Does an acid contain one or more hydroxide ions?
An acidic solution contains many more H+ ions than OH- ions, and a basic solution has more OH- than H+. A pure water solution, which is neutral, has exactly equal number of each.
What contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions a base or an acid?
Acid.
What is a solution called that has more OH-ions H plus ions?
When a solution has more hydrogen ions it will be acidic.
Are hydronium ions contributed to a solution by a base or acid?
Acids have more hydronium than hydroxide. Bases are the reverse of that.
If a solution is alkaline or a base what ions does it have more of?
it has more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions
Is HCL an acid base or is it neutral?
Acid. It contains hyrdonium ions more than hydroxide ions.
An acid is a solution with more?
H+ ions or less pH
