MCQ
The $pH$ of a solution is $5.0$. To this solution sufficient acid is added to decrease the $pH$ to $2.0$. The increase in hydrogen ion concentration is.....$times$
- A$100$
- B$10$
- ✓$1000$
- D$2.5$
When $pH =5$,
$\left[ H ^{+}\right]=10^{- pH }=10^{-5}\, M$
The $pH$ of solution is decreased to $2 .$
When $pH =2$,
$\left[ H ^{+}\right]=10^{- pH }=10^{-2} \,M$
The change in concentration of $\left[ H ^{+}\right]$is $10^{-2} / 10^{-5}=10^3=1000.$
It is increased by $1000$ times.
