Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 10^5 \ or \ 100,000 \ times \ more \ acidic}}

Explanation:

The pH scale stands for the power or potential of hydrogen. It measures how acidic or basic a solution based on the concentration of hydrogen ions and a scale from 1 to 14.

This scale is unique because it is logarithmic. So, every time the pH changes by 1 on the scale, the actual concentration of the solution increases or decreases by a tenfold.

So, a solution with a pH of 7 is ten times more acidic than a solution with a pH of 8. This can be translated to:

10^ {difference \ in \ pH}

The black coffee has a pH of 5 and the hand soap has a pH of 10. We want to find how many times more acidic coffee is, so we subtract 5 from 10 and get 5. The difference in pH is 5.

10^5=100,000

Coffee is <u>10⁵ or 100,000 times more acidic than hand soap.</u>

how do you think plant cells differ from animal cells? (Hint: what can plants do that animals cannot?
zvonat [6]
A difference between plant cells and animal cells is that most animal cells are round whereas most plant cells are rectangular.Plant cells have a rigid cell wall that surrounds the cell membrane. Animal cells do not have a cell wall. When looking under a microscope, the cell wall is an easy way to distinguish plant cells.

Difference Between Plant And Animal Cells 1 Chloroplast. Like animal cells plant cells have mitochondria. 2 Cell Wall. Animal cells do not contain a cell wall while plant cells and fungi cells do. 3 Vacuole. Vacuoles are very large membrane-bound sacs within plant cells.
