उत्तर
The concentration of H+(aq) ions determines whether a solution is acidic, alkaline, or neutral. Yes, basic solution contains ions.
A basic solution produces more (OH−) ions in water and less hydrogen (H+) ions due to ionisation. A basic solution increases the pH of phenolphthalein and turns it pink.
