Question restatement: What is true about an acidic solution at 25°C?

Observation: The provided answer option is: [OH−] < 1.0 × 10−7.

Analysis of the option: In an acidic solution, the concentration of hydronium ions [H3O+] (often written as [H+]) is greater than 1.0 × 10−7 M at 25°C. The product of [H+] and [OH−] at this temperature is the ion-product constant for water, Kw = [H+][OH−] = 1.0 × 10−14. Therefore, [OH−] = Kw / [H+] < (1.0 × 10−14) / (1.0 × 10−7) = 1.0 × 10−7 M. Since [H+] is greater than 1.0 × 10−7 M in acidic solutions, [OH−] must be less than 1.0 × 10−7 M. This makes the statement [OH−] < 1.0 × 10−7 a true characterization of an acidic solution at 25°C.

Alternative considerations: If the solution were neutral, [H+] = [OH−] = 1.0 × 10−7 M, so [OH−] would equal 1.0 × 10−7 M, not less. If the solution were basic, [H+] would be less than 1.0 × 10−7 M, which would drive [OH−] above 1.0 × 10−7 M. However, those scenarios do not apply to an acidic solution, so the given statement remains consistent with the definition of acidity at 25°C.

In summary, due to Kw = 1.0 × 10−14 and the condition [H+] > 1.0 × 10−7 M for an acid at 25°C, the inequality [OH−] < 1.0 × 10−7 M is correct.
