How many times higher would the H+ concentration be in a solution that has a pH of 3.0 than in a solution that has a pH of 4.0?

Answer :

Answer:

10x higher

Explanation:

To convert pH to [H+], you would use the formula:

[H+] = [tex]10^{-pH}[/tex]

pH of 3.0:

[H+] = [tex]10^{-3.0}[/tex]

[H+] = 1 x [tex]10^{-3}[/tex]

pH of 4.0:

[H+] = [tex]10^{-4.0}[/tex]

[H+] = 1 x [tex]10^{-4}[/tex]

Divide to find how many times larger.

[tex]\frac{1 x 10^{-3} }{1 x 10^{-4} } = 10[/tex]
