Which is a higher concentration of hydronium ions, a solution with pH of 2 or a solution with pH of 3? pH 2 is more concentrated by 10 times. For pH 2 For pH 3 Each increment of pH level is 10 times more acidic and each [H3O+] = 10-‐2.0 [H3O+] = 10-‐3.0 decrement of pH level is 10 times + -‐2 + -‐3 [H3O ] = 1 x 10 M [H3O ] = 1 x 10 M basic. In this case, pH 2 is more concentrated by ten times because = 0.01 M = 0.001 M the difference between 2 and 3 is 1. 17. Which is a more acidic a solution, with pH of 4 or a solution with pH of 6? pH 4 is 100 times more concentrated. This is because the lower the pH, the more acidic a solution is and the difference between 4 and 6 is 2. Each pH level is 10 times more acidic. Therefore, 10 x 10 = 100. Therefore, its 100 times more concentrated H3
