Classifying Aqueous Solutions: Acids, Bases, or Neutral?

In summary, an aqueous solution is a mixture of a substance and water, with the pH level determining whether it is classified as an acid, base, or neutral. The concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution determines its pH, with higher concentrations resulting in a lower pH and more acidity. Some common examples of acidic, basic, and neutral aqueous solutions include lemon juice, ammonia, and water. To test the pH of an aqueous solution, pH paper, a pH meter, or indicators such as litmus paper can be used.
