Question

question 20 (1 point) listen as the h⁺ concentration increases for a solution, ph also increases. 1) true 2) false

Explanation:

The pH of a solution is defined as \( \text{pH} = -\log_{10}[\text{H}^+] \), where \([\text{H}^+]\) is the hydrogen ion concentration. As \([\text{H}^+]\) increases, the value of \(-\log_{10}[\text{H}^+]\) decreases (e.g., if \([\text{H}^+]\) goes from \(10^{-7}\) to \(10^{-6}\), pH goes from 7 to 6). So when \( \text{H}^+ \) concentration increases, pH decreases, making the statement false.

Answer:

1. False
