Answer:
Solution A is 1,000 times more acidic than Sol. B
Explanation:
for pH values we use scientific notation:
-log10 c (where c is the hydrogen ion concentration) is used to notate pH value (think of it as a unit)
ie:
10^-2 is sol A 10^-5 is sol B
5-2 is 3
10^-3 = 1000
there's a diff of 1,000 between the solutions.
Answer: Boiling chips provide surfaces on which bubbles can form as the liquid boils.
