The lower the value/number of pH means the hydrogen ion concentration is greater.
Remember pH = -log(10)[H^+]
Its mathematical inverse is
[H^+] = 10^(-pH)
So substituting the numbers 7.6 & 9.4
[H*+] = 10^(-7.6) = 2.51188... x 10^(-8)
[H^+] = 10^(-9.4) = 3.98107... x 10^(-10)
NB the coefficients may be larger, but the powers of '10' makes 9.4 < 7.6
The concentration of hydroxide ion is realted to pH by the pKw (10-14)
At pH 9 the concentration of OH- is 10-5, at pH 3, 10-11. The ratio is 106 so there are a million times as many OH- in pH 9.
pC of H30+ at pH 11 is also 11, so concetration will be 10-11 mol/l (anti-log of -11)
pH= -log(hydrogen ion concentration.)
9=-log(H+) (1st eqn)
(H+)=antilog(-9)
3=-log(H) (2nd eqn)
(H+)=antilog(-3)
do the calculations yourself,and see.
Yes it ha a lower pH because it is lower on the scale and in addtion to that it is more acidic as well.
Lower pH is equivalent to higher concentration of the ion H+.
it would be 3
1 million
2 x 10-10 M
In an aqueous solution, the concentration of H3O+ is the same as the concentration of H+. If you know the pH of the solution, then that's equal to 10^(-pH).
The H3O+ concentration in a solution with pH 3.22 = 1x10^-3.22 M or 6.03x10^-4 M.If a solution is 100 times less acidic, then the H3O+ concentration will be 6.03x10^-6 M.Put another way, 100 times less acidic will have a pH of 5.22 and H3O+ = 1x10^-5.22 = 6.03x10^-6M
Concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution
p = -log[H+] = 12.4
The difference between the three is the relative concentration of H3O+ and OH- in the solution.An acid solution has a higher concentration of H3O+ than OH- and its pH is lower than 7.A basic solution has a higher concentration of OH- than H3O+ and its pH is higher than 7.A neutral solution has exactly equal concentration of each one and its pH is exactly 7.
In an aqueous solution, the concentration of H3O+ is the same as the concentration of H+. If you know the pH of the solution, then that's equal to 10^(-pH).
If the PH of lemon juice at 298 k is found to be 2.32, the concentration of H3O plus ions in the solution would be 0.5 M.
.5M
The H3O+ concentration in a solution with pH 3.22 = 1x10^-3.22 M or 6.03x10^-4 M.If a solution is 100 times less acidic, then the H3O+ concentration will be 6.03x10^-6 M.Put another way, 100 times less acidic will have a pH of 5.22 and H3O+ = 1x10^-5.22 = 6.03x10^-6M
pH = -log(hydronium concentration) [Hydronium is H3O.-log(1 x 10-9) = 9
An acidic solution
Concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution
pH=10, means the concentration of OH- ions is 0.0001 M and concentration of H+ ions is 0.0000000001M
p = -log[H+] = 12.4
The difference between the three is the relative concentration of H3O+ and OH- in the solution.An acid solution has a higher concentration of H3O+ than OH- and its pH is lower than 7.A basic solution has a higher concentration of OH- than H3O+ and its pH is higher than 7.A neutral solution has exactly equal concentration of each one and its pH is exactly 7.
The pH is a measure of the concentration of H3O+ in a solution. The lower the pH, the higher the concentration of H3O+. This is because of the way it is defined:pH = - log10 [H3O+]or in other words, the pH is the negative logarithm (in base 10) of the concentration of H3O+.Water, and water-based solutions have a special property: if you multiply the concentration of H3O+ and the concentration of OH-, you always get a constant number, no matter what. Mathematically, that is:[H3O+] * [OH-] = 1 x 10-14This also says the the two concentrations are inverselyproportional. So when one is high, the other has to be low.So, getting back to your question, we know the pH of each solution. From that we know the concentration of H3O+. Again, lower the pH, the higher the concentration of H3O+. And since the concentrations of H3O+ and OH- are inversely proportional, when H3O+ is high, the OH- concentration is low. So which solution has the lowest amount of H3O+? That's the one that has the highest pH, and that will also have the highest concentration of OH-.See the Related Questions for more information about pH, acids and bases.
An acid solution is a solution that contains more hydronium (H3O+) ions than hydroxide (OH-) ions. On the other hand, the reverse is true for a basic solution. Acidic solutions will have a pH less than 7 whereas basic solutions will have a pH greater than 7 by the equation pH=-log[H3O+].
