Question

Which one is a strong acid, pH = 5 or pH = 3?

Answer 1

Answer:

The pH scale is logarithmic, meaning that an increase or decrease of an integer value changes the concentration by a tenfold. For example, a pH of 3 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 4. Likewise, a pH of 3 is one hundred times more acidic than a pH of 5

$\boxed{f} \red{o} \boxed{l} \pink{l}\boxed{o} \green{w} \: \: \boxed{m} \purple{e}$

Answer 2

pH = 3 is more acidic than pH = 5

The pH goes less than 7, the more acidic it becomes.

• Anything higher than 7 is basic
• Anything lower than 7 is acidic.
