How does a change of one unit in pH affect the hydrogen ion concentration [H⁺]?
Options
- AA change of one unit in pH has no effect on [H⁺].
- BA change of one unit in pH increases [H⁺] by a factor of 100.
- CA change of one unit in pH decreases [H⁺] by a factor of 10.
- DA change of one unit in pH increases [H⁺] by a factor of 10.
Correct answer
D. A change of one unit in pH increases [H⁺] by a factor of 10.
Step-by-step solution
The pH scale is logarithmic, and a change of one unit in pH corresponds to a factor of 10 change in [H⁺].
