Question

Do basic solutions also have H⁺ (aq) ions? If yes, then why are these basic?

Answer 1

yes, basic solution also has H⁺ ions. However, their concentration is less as compared to the concentration of OH^– ions that makes the solution basic.

Answer 2

Yes, basic solutions also have H⁺ (aq) ions.
Generally, bases generate hydroxide ions when they are dissolved in water. Basic solutions also have H⁺ (aq) ions, which are obtained from the ionisation of water. The amount of H⁺ ions in basic solutions is very less compared with the amount of OH^- ions. Hence, they are basic in nature.
