Answer:

A difference of 1 would mean there is either x10 more or less depending on where you are starting.

Explanation:

The pH of 3 differs from 4 because the acidity of 3 is 10x higher than that of 4. This is due to how the scientific notation of 3 in relation to pH is 10x^-3 while that of 4 is 10^-4 so in terms of the stronger acid that would be the one with the pH of 3.
