Question

which of the given two solution have the more concentration of h+ ions - solution with ph = 4 or solution with ph = 10 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

ph=4

Explanation:

ph = 4 is acid and hence contains h+ ions

ph = 10 is a base and hence contains oh- ions

Answer 2

• pH gives us the concentration of H⁺ ions in a solution.

• pH less than 7 is considered to be acidic and pH more than 7 is considered to be basic.

       As the pH 4 is less than 7 it is an acidic solution and pH 10 is greater than

       7 so it is a basic solution.

• Acidic solution will have a greater concentration of H⁺ ions than the basic solution.

Therefore, pH =4 have more H⁺ ions concentration.

The relation between pH and H⁺ ions concentration is given as,

pH = - log[ H⁺]
