What is the pH difference of two samples if the concentration of [H+] ions is 1000-fold less in the second sample? A. The pH of the first sample would be 3 pH units lower than the second sample. B. The pH of the first sample would be 2 pH units higher than the second sample. C. The pH of the first sample would be 3 pH units higher than the second sample. D. The pH of the first sample would be 2 pH units lower than the second sample.

@rvc A or C?

rvc (rvc):

Lower the pH value stronger is the acid

rvc (rvc):

pH = - log_10[H+]

rvc (rvc):

Since it is less the second sample is more acidic than the first one.

rvc (rvc):

So it would be C

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

It was A

rvc (rvc):

Oh sorry :(
