The lower the pH number the stronger the acid.

So pH = 2 is a stronger acid than pH = 4

The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. 7 is neutral, and the further numbers get from 7, the stronger the substance gets. Thus pH 2 is stronger than pH 4.

How much stronger is pH 2 compared to pH 6?

A pH of 2 is 10,000 times more acidic than a pH of 6.


How many times stronger is pH 3 to pH 8?

316pH is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. A pH of 2 is 10 times stronger than a pH of 3. A pH of 2 is 100 times stronger than a pH of 4.The easiest way of comparing pH of 3 and 5.5 might be to convert the numbers back to hydrogen ion concentrations, [H+].pH 3 means [H+] = 10-3 which is equal to 0.001 MpH 5.5 means [H+] = 0.00000316 MThis means that pH 3 is 316 times stronger than pH 5.5


Is below 7 a low pH?

Anything below 7 on the pH scale means it is acidic, and anything above means it is an alkali. For each number you go up or down, the acid or alkali will become stronger or weaker by 100 times. Generally water through the tap is 5-7 pH. Anything lower than 2 or 3 is rather dangerous.


What is the difference in pH between an acid with a pH of 2 and an acid with a pH of 5?

A solution with a pH of 2 is about 1000 times more acidic than a pH of 5. This does not necessarily mean an acid is stronger, though it may merely be in a higher concentration.


Does Haumea have a stronger or weaker gravity than earth?

It has a much weaker gravitational pull than Earth. Earth's pull is about 9.81 m/s^2 at sea level, while Haumea's is about 0.63m/s^2, or roughly one fifteenth of that on Earth.


Does Venuse have stronger or weaker gravity than Earth?

No. Gravity on Earth is 9.78 M/S^2; Gravity on Venus is 8.87 M/S^2


If a substance tested 2 on the pH scale how many times more acidic than a substance that scored 6 on the pH scale?

pH is the power of 10, so 6-2=4 means 104 times stronger (10.000 times)


What is the strongest acid pH?

The strongest acid is fluoroantimonic acid which is 2×1019 times stronger than 100% sulfuric acid.


Describe te pH scale. What determines whether or not a substance is an acid?

the pH scale is a measure of acids and bases. if it is less than 7 it is an acid. if it is grater than 7 its a base. if it is 7, it is neutral. the closer the # is to 7 the weaker it is. the farther it is from the 7 the stronger it is( 1-strong acid. 6- weak acid. 8-weak base. 14- strong base.). it goes up 2 14.


How do you tell a strong acid from a weak acid?

Using the pH Scales, if I have 2 Acids, one with the pH of 2 and another with the pH of 5.8, the Acid with A pH of 2 is stronger. 7 in the pH scale means Nuetral, and 14 means very strong Alkaline.
