What’s the difference in concentration of hydronium Ions between pH1 and pH4?


a) x 2.6

b) x 1000

c) x 4

d) x 10

Respuesta :

Answer:

The difference in concentration of hydronium Ions between pH1 and pH4 is 1000 times.

The difference in concentration of hydronium Ions between pH1 and pH4 is - Option b) x 1000.

pH scale is a scale or measure to find the strength of acidity or basic nature of a solution or substance. pH 1 is acidic and pH 14 is most basic on scale.

Acids combine with water molecules to form hydronium ion, H3O+. Therefore, pH formula in aqueous solution becomes-

pH = - log [H3O+].

taking antilog on both the sides, the concentration would be calculated as

[H3O+] = antilog (- pH)

In the first case, pH given is 1. So,

=> [H3O+] = antilog (- 1)

= 0.1  

In the second case, pH given is 4. So,

=> [H3O+] = antilog (- 4)

= 0.0001  

Thus, the concentration of hydronium ion at pH 1 is around 1000 times greater than that of concentration at pH 4.
