Does a pH of 3 have a greater hydrogen ion concentration than a 9 pH?

pH come from "pondus hydrogenii" or "potential hydrogen." It measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. Mathematically, pH = -log[H+]
Therefore, to answer your question, a pH of 3 will have a 10-3M of hydrogen ions where as the pH 9 solution will have a 10-9M of hydrogen ions. The lower the pH the higher its H+ concentration and the more acidic it is. (A pH of 9 is actually basic.)

Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
What is the pH of a solution that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 110?
A hydrogen ion concentration of 110? 110 what? Or is that supposed to be 1x101
Which kind of compound increases the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution?
Acids increase the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
What is the difference between pH and hydrogen ion concentration?
The pH value of a particular solution is equivalent to -log[hydrogen ion concentration].
How does the concentration of hydrogen ions vary with pH?
pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. So lowering pH from 5 to 4 means a ten times increase in hydrogen ion concentration. Increasing pH by 1 results in decreasing hydrogen ion concentration to 1/10th its former level.
What is the pH of a solution in which the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ion?
Acidic
What is a pH table?
The pH of a solution measures the hydrogen ion concentration in that solution. A small change in pH represents a large change in hydrogen ion concentration. For example, the hydrogen ion concentration of lemon juice (pH of 2.3) is 63 times greater than that of tomato juice (pH of 4.1), and 50,000 times greater than that of water (pH of 7.0). mustki2005@yahoo.comNigerian
How does hydrogen ion relate to acid?
greater the concentration of H+ ions, greater is the acidity
Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
What general name is given to solution that have many more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions?
A solution with a greater concentration of hydrogen ion (H+) than hydroxide ion (OH-) is an acid while the inverse would be a base.
How is a change in hydrogen ion concentration reflected in the pH?
pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration; so an increase in hydrogen ion concentration give a reduction in pH. A reduction in hydrogen ion concentration causes an increase in pH.
How much greater is the hydrogen ion concentration in tomatoes 4.2pH then in rainwater 6.2pH?
100 times
What has a PH level of 0?
Any (Strong) acid with a hydrogen ion concentration of 1mol/L. If an acid has a greater concentration, the PH is negative.
What is the pH of a solution that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 110?
A hydrogen ion concentration of 110? 110 what? Or is that supposed to be 1x101
What is the difference in the amount of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion in the solution with pH7?
None. In a solution with a pH of 7 the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to the hydroxide ion concentration.
What receptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration?
A chemoreceptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration.
What is the measurement of hydrogen ion concentration?
A measurement of hydrogen ion concentration is pH, which equals-log[H+], which is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration (actually activity, but that is usually ignored). This quantity can be measured with a hydrogen electrode (as found in a pH meter), which is a type of ion selective electrode.
