Question

A solution with a ph of 5 has how many more protons in it than a solution with a ph of 7?

Answer 1

you're moving two steps from 7 to 5 (10 x10 = 100), so 100 times more protons would be the appropriate response.

Answer 2

A solution with a pH of 5 has
`9.9* 10^(-6) M` more protons in it than a solution with a pH of 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH of the solution is negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concatenation in the aqueous solution. Mathematically written as:

`pH=-\log [H^+]`

1) A solution with a pH of 5 :

`5=-\log[H^+]`

`[H^+]=10^(-5) M`

2) A solution with a pH of 7 :

`7=-\log[H^+]'`

`[H^+]'=10^(-7) M`

`[H^+]>[H^+]'`

Difference in concentration of hydrogen ions or protons in both solutions:

`[H^+]-[H^+]'=10^(-5)M-10^(-7) M=9.9* 10^(-6) M`
