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.)

What is the pH of a solution in which the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ion?

The pH of a solution with higher hydrogen ion concentration than hydroxide ion concentration will be less than 7, indicating an acidic solution. The exact pH value can be calculated using the formula pH = -log[H+].


How much greater is the hydrogen ion concentration in tomatoes 4.2pH then in rainwater 6.2pH?

The hydrogen ion concentration in tomatoes at pH 4.2 is 100 times greater than in rainwater at pH 6.2. pH is a logarithmic scale, so each whole number change represents a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration.


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


If a solution is considered to be basic is true about the hydroxide ion concentration?

If a solution is considered basic, then the hydroxide ion concentration is higher than the hydrogen ion concentration. This means that the pH of the solution is greater than 7. The presence of hydroxide ions contributes to the alkaline properties of the solution.


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 difference between pH and hydrogen ion concentration?

pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a logarithmic scale ranging from 0 to 14, while hydrogen ion concentration refers to the actual amount of H+ ions present in a solution. pH is calculated based on the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration, where a lower pH value indicates higher hydrogen ion concentration and greater acidity.


How does pH relate to hydrogen ion concentration?

pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. As pH decreases, the hydrogen ion concentration increases, and as pH increases, the hydrogen ion concentration decreases. pH is calculated using the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.


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.


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 has the greater concentration of hydrogen ions a substance with a pH of 5 or a substance with a pH of 4?

A substance with a pH of 4 has a greater concentration of hydrogen ions compared to a substance with a pH of 5. The pH scale is logarithmic, so each decrease in pH by 1 represents a tenfold increase in hydrogen ion concentration.


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.


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.
