Does a difference of 10.0 pH units make a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration?

A change of one pH unit represents a ten-fold increase or decrease in hydronium ion concentration. H30+ can also be seen as H+ for this purpose. Read up on it, H+ is attracted to H20 in aqueous situations, creating H30+. This must affect pH paper the same at least, so then they would synonymous.
The Hydroxl ion concentration that you mention is referring to sodium hydroxide.
that would be pOH. It's almost a trick question since they sound the same, but it's not really at all.

What are the units used to measure acids and bases?
The concentration of an acid or base in solution is measured in moles per litre. The strength of an acid or base in solution is measured on the pH scale. This is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. It's a pure number, there are no units.
What are the SI units of concentration?
There are no units of concentration. Concentration is written as density, which requires a mass measurement, and a volume measurement. The standard units for this is grams per liter.
Change of a solution that goes from a pH 6 to a pH 8?
The easiest definition of pH, useful at the ranges you mention, is the concentration of hydrogen ions (or univalent donors) in a solution. pH units were defined to use a log base 10 scale rather than a linear scale in order to conveniently represent an enormous range of ion concentrations. Each unit change of pH reflects a 10-fold change of ion concentration. Increasing pH was arbitrarily chosen to represent decreasing hydrogen ion concentration. Hence pH6 to ph8 is a 100x decrease in hydrogen ion concentration.
How many H atoms in a mole of hydrogen?
Trick question. Hydrogen is a diatomic molecule; it travels around with a buddy as H2 and not as a single atom. This is generally true of all gases except the inert gases. By definition, a mole of anything has 6.022 x 1023 "units" of that stuff. (That's Avogadro's number.) The "stuff" is the atoms or the molecules of that "stuff" and it can be thought of in terms of the "reaction units" of that stuff. We do not have H2 + O = H2O. We have 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O because oxygen is diatomic like hydrogen. The "reaction units" of hydrogen and oxygen are H2 and O2 respectively. Now the answer will appear. A mole of hydrogen is 6.022 x 1023 units of hydrogen which will be 6.022 x 1023 molecules of hydrogen which will be (6.022 x 1023 times 2) atoms of hydrogen which will be 1.204 x 1024 atoms of hydrogen.
What is the weight of one hydrogen atom?
The atomic weight of hydrogen is 1,007 94 ± 0,000 07 atomic units of mass.
What are the units for measuring pH?
pH is a pure number. It doesn't have units. It is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration.

What is a concentration of hydrogen protons in a solution?
In neutral water 10-7 mol/l or 10-7 mol/dm3 if you prefer those units of measure. the solution may not be neutral (i.e be acidic or basic) in which case the concentration woul be higher or lower.

How is the concentration of potassium demonstrated?
The concentration of potassium is often expressed in units of milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L)
What is the difference between SI units and the customary system?
The difference is the tranguillary measurements of the two said units
What is the difference between units square and square units?
There isn't a significant difference, just which ever you prefer.
