A decrease in hydrogen ion concentration by factor of 10
10x increase in acidity
the increase in PH = 3 - 1 = 2
pH 2 -> pH 1
All numbers below 7. Acidity increases with decreasing number, for example, 1 is the most acidic.
-1 pH unit = *10 concentration
10x increase in acidity
Each increment or step on the pH scale is 1 order of magnitude or 10 times the previous step.
A decrease in hydrogen ion concentration by factor of 10
1. increase the number of glucose carriers2. increase glucose concentration
the increase in PH = 3 - 1 = 2
A decrease in hydrogen ion concentration by factor of 10
Both the pH scale and the Richter scale are logarithmic. A decrease of 1 on the pH scale means a tenfold increase in acidity while an increase of 1 on the Richter scale means a tenfold increase in intensity.
pH 0-14
pH 2 -> pH 1
All numbers below 7. Acidity increases with decreasing number, for example, 1 is the most acidic.
-1 pH unit = *10 concentration
its pH 2 ---> pH 1
