The pH of a solution is increased from 3 to 6 ; its H ⁺ ion concentration will be
Options
- Areduced to half
- Bdoubled
- Creduced by 1000 times
- Dincreased by 1000 times
Correct answer
C. reduced by 1000 times
Step-by-step solution
pH =3 [ H ⁺ ]=10⁻³ ; pH =6 [ H ⁺ ]=10⁻⁶ . Hence [ H ⁺ ] is reduced by 10⁻³ times.
