MCQ
In a solution of $pH = 5,$ more acid is added in order to reduce the $pH = 2.$ The increase in hydrogen ion concentration is......$times$
  • A
    $100$ 
  • $1000 $ 
  • C
    $ 3$
  • D
    $5$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$1000 $ 
(b) ${[{H^ + }]_{\rm{I}}} = {10^{ - 5}}$ ${[{H^ + }]_{{\rm{II}}}} = {10^{ - 2}}$

Thus increase in $[{H^ + }] = \frac{{{{10}^{ - 2}}}}{{{{10}^{ - 5}}}} = 1000$ times
