One liter of a solution of pH 2 has how many more hydrogen ions (H⁺)than 1 L of a solution of pH 6?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pH scale is logarithmic, which means that a difference of one unit of pH corresponds to a tenfold difference in the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺). Thus, a solution with a pH of 2 has 10⁴ (10,000) times more H⁺ ions than a solution with a pH of 6 (10²). Therefore, the answer is D) 10,000 times more.
