NEETChemistryIonic Equilibrium
How does a change in [H+] by a factor of 100 affect the value of pH?
Options
- AA change in [H+] by a factor of 100 has no effect on pH.
- BA change in [H+] by a factor of 100 decreases the value of pH by 2 units.
- CA change in [H+] by a factor of 100 increases the value of pH by 2 units.
- DA change in [H+] by a factor of 100 decreases the value of pH by 1 unit.
Correct answer
C. A change in [H+] by a factor of 100 increases the value of pH by 2 units.
Step-by-step solution
When the hydrogen ion concentration [H+] changes by a factor of 100, the value of pH changes by 2 units.
