An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. An example is Iron (III) , Iron (II) , lithium, and hydrogen.

How many times more hydroxide ions are there in a solution with a ph of 9 than in a solution with a ph of 3?

cestrela7 [59]

The pH unit has 10x as many hydrogens ions as the unit above.
Ex: A pH of 5 would have 10x more hydrogen ions than a pH of 6
and 100x more than if it had a pH of 7.
With a pH of 9 and 3, this is equivalent to 10⁶
So your answer should be:
1,000,000

Explanation:

When water reacts with formic acid, The following equilibrium is set up;

HCOOH(aq) + H20(l) ⇄ HCOO-(aq) + H30+(aq)

This is because, the water abstracts a proton from formic acid to form its conjugate base, formate ion.

At equilibrium, the forward is favored.
