pH decreases as the hydrogen ion concentration increases.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When there is a decrease in pH, that is pH decreases from 6 to 3 then the acidity increases.
That is the pH is between 1 to 7 then it is acidic
When the pH is 7 then it is neutral
When the pH is between 7 to 14 then it is basic
As the H⁺ ion concentration increases, then the pH value decreases, here pH decreases from 6 to 3.
So the concentration of Hydrogen ion increases, pH decreases.
Answer : The mass defect required to release energy is 6111.111 kg
Explanation :
To calculate the mass defect for given energy released, we use Einstein's equation:

E = Energy released = 
= mass change = ?
c = speed of light = 
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:


Therefore, the mass defect required to release energy is 6111.111 kg
