reamining are not correct :
explanation :
a) Acidic solutions taste bitter. (false)
explanation : acidic solutions are taste sour
c) Acidic solutions cause red litmus to change color to blue. (false)
explanation : Acidic solutions cause blue litmus to change color to red
d) Basic solutions cause blue litmus to change color to red.(false)
explanation : basic solutions cause red litmus to change color to blue
e) [H3O+] is less than 1.00 x 10-7 in a basic solution. (true)
explanation : for basic solution [H3O+] <[OH-]
[H3O+] < 1 .0 x10^-7
f) [OH-] is less than 1.00 x 10-7 in a basic solution. (false)
explanation : for basic solution [H3O+] <[OH-]
1.0 x10^-7 < [OH-]
