What happen during pH scale?
The value of pH increase from acidic to basic.
What does the increase in 1 pH number represent?
Each increment or step on the pH scale is 1 order of magnitude or 10 times the previous step.
What is factor does each number increase by in the pH scale?
The factor is 10.
How is the pH scale similar to the Richter scale?
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.
Does acid rain increase the pH of streams?
Actually, it decreses the pH, because the pH of acids are towards the low end (0) of the pH scale.
Why does increase in pH help in digestion?
By increase I believe you mean the pH gets more acidic. The stomach is full of acid that is very low on the pH scale, and the lower in the pH scale, the more acidic Hydrogen bonds become. So, basically the more acidic the pH in the stomach, the better the food can be broken down (decomposed).
What is the increase in acidity associated with a decrease of one unit on the pH scale?
A decrease of one unit on the pH scale represents a tenfold increase in acidity. This is because the pH scale is logarithmic, meaning each whole number change reflects a tenfold change in hydrogen ion concentration. For example, a solution with a pH of 5 is ten times more acidic than one with a pH of 6.
How does an increase in the cocentration of H plus affect the number on the pH scale?
As the concentration of H+ increases, the value of pH decreases simultaneously.
Is there a two-folded increase in hydrogen for every pH unit as the scale decreases?
ten-folded
Which change shows a tenfold increase in concentration h ions?
pH 2 -> pH 1
What scale is used to determine pH?
the pH scale
What scale describes the acidity of a solution as a number?
the pH
