What effect does the concentration of H+(aq) ions have on the nature of the solution?
Concentration of H+ can have a varied effect on the nature of the solution. H+ ion concentration increases, the solution becomes more acidic, while a decrease of H+ ion causes an increase in the basicity of the solution.
