Question

Aeen is drinking a beverage that has a pH of 3.3 Marien is drinking a beverage that has a pH of 2.7. About how many times the hydrogen ion concentration of Aeens drink is the hydrogen ion concentrate of Marines drink?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Answer 2

5× the H+ concentration.

Explanation:

On the pH scale, each change in pH by '1' means 10× more hydrogen ions. (pH is a logarithmic scale)

So, for example, a pH of 2 versus a pH of 3 has 10× the concentration of H+ ions.

In this problem, the difference is only '0.5', so the difference would only be 5× more.
