Classifying Aqueous Solutions: Acids, Bases, or Neutral?

AI Thread Summary
HI(aq) is classified as acidic, NaCl(aq) is neutral, and RbOH(aq) is basic. The classifications are based on the properties of the compounds in aqueous solution. HI is a strong acid, NaCl is a salt that does not affect pH, and RbOH is a strong base. The initial classifications provided are correct. Understanding these classifications is essential for studying acid-base chemistry.
