Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the hydronium ion concentration of the solution with a pH of 4.

[H₃O⁺] = 10^-pH

[H₃O⁺] = 10⁻⁴

[H₃O⁺] = 1 × 10⁻⁴

Next, multiple the hydronium ion concentration by 100 to find the hydronium ion concentration of the new solution.

[H₃O⁺] = 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ × 100 = 0.01

Lastly, find the pH.

pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

pH = -log (0.01)

pH = 2

The pH of a solution that has a hydronium ion concentration 100 times greater than a solution with a pH of 4 is 2.

Hope this helps.
