9 is not acidic at all, it's actually basic. 5 is acidic.
7 is neutral below 7 is acidic above 7 is basic therefore a pH of 5 is more acidic as a pH of 9
Each number on the pH scale represents a 10-fold difference from the number before or after it, so that pH5 is 10x more acidic than pH6 which is 10x more acidic than pH7. Since the difference between 9 and 5 is 4, the acidity would be 4 tens multiplied together: 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 (or 104), BUT.... the question asks for the difference in acidity at pH9 compared to pH5. pH9 is weaker, so we use the inverse. pH9 is only 1/104 as acidic as pH5.
A solution with a pH of 7 is neutral, indicating a balance between acidic and basic properties. A solution with a pH of 9 is slightly basic, meaning it has a higher concentration of hydroxide ions compared to a neutral solution.
The pH scale is used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, with a range from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline). For example, a lemon has a pH of around 2, indicating it is acidic, while baking soda has a pH of around 9, showing it is alkaline.
The pH of Marmite is typically around 5.5. It is considered slightly acidic.

No, pH 9 is actually more basic (alkaline) than pH 4. The pH scale is logarithmic, so each unit is 10 times more acidic or basic than the unit next to it. pH 4 is more acidic than pH 9.

The answer to 'What pH would indicate and acidic soil?' is 5. 5 is a week number and 1 is the strongest, 7 is neutral and 14 is a strong alkali 9 is week.

The PH of a nettle sting is about the same as a bee sting both are acidic so a nettle sting should have a PH of 5 or 5.5
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.)

pH = 4 is mildly acidic. The pH scale is [H = 1 strongly acidic pH = 4 mildly acidic pH = 7 neutral ( Water) pH = 9 mildly alkaline pH = 14 strongly alkaline.
The pH scale represents a count of ions (hydrogen), or more accurately the "activity" of hydrogen ions. The pH is the negative of the logarithm (base 10) of the concentration in moles per liter. A solution with a pH of 4 is 100 times as concentrated as one with a pH of 6.
