Answer:
strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic
Explanation:
1. A solution with a pH of 9 has a pOH of
pH + pOH = 14 => pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 9 = 5
2. Which is more acidic, a solution with a pH of 6 or a pH of 4?
pH of 4 => Higher [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴M vs pH of 6 => [H⁺] = 10⁻⁶M
3. How many times more acidic is a solution with a pH of 2 than a solution with a pH of 3?
soln with pH = 2 => [H⁺] = 10⁻²M
soln with pH = 3 => [H⁺] = 10⁻³M
strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic
4. What is the hydrogen ion concentration [H + ] in a solution that has a pH of 8?
[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10⁻⁸M
5. A solution has a pOH of 9.6. What is the pH? (Use the formula.)
pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - 9.6 = 4.4
