Question

how many more \\(\text{h}^+\\) ions are in a solution of \\(\text{ph}\\) 9 than a solution of \\(\text{ph}\\) 10?

a. twice as many.
b. ten times as many.
c. half as many.
d. one tenth as many.
e. all of the above.

Explanation:

Calculate hydrogen ion concentrations

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Determine the ratio of concentrations

$$ \frac{[\text{H}^+]_{\text{pH } 9}}{[\text{H}^+]_{\text{pH } 10}} = \frac{10^{-9}}{10^{-10}} = 10^1 = 10 $$

Answer:

  • (A) Twice as many.
  • (B) Ten times as many. (Correct answer)
  • (C) Half as many.
  • (D) One tenth as many.
  • (E) All of the above.
