Question

What is the concentration of Htions at a pH = 11?

mol/L
What is the concentration of Htions at a pH = 6?
mol/L
How many fewer Htions are there in a solution at a
pH = 11 than in a solution at a pH = 6?

Answer 1

Answer:
a) 1 x 10^-11 mol/L
b) 1 x 10^-6 mol/L
c) 1 x 10^-5 fewer H+ ions

Explanation

pH stands for Power of Hydrogen, the more acidic a substance is, the more H+ ions it has rendering the substance acidic. a pH of 1 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-1. A pH of 7 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-7 and so on.

10^-11 has 10^-5 more H+ ions than 10^-6

Hope this helps :)
