Question

The pH of a solution is increased from 2 to 4, its H+ concentration will​

Answer 1

Answer:

reduced by 1000 times

Explanation:

Change in pH is ΔpH=pH

2

−pH

1

=6−3=3.

Thus, the ratio of hydrogen ion concentration is

[H

=10

−3

=0.001.

Hence, hydrogen ion concentration should be decreased by 1000 times.
