decreasing the concentration of OH– ions

1 answer

The change that would decrease the pH of a base in a solution at equilibrium is:

decreasing the concentration of OH– ions.

When the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻) decreases, the pH of the solution also decreases, as pH is inversely related to the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) and directly related to the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution.
