​(b) How many times greater is the​ hydrogen-ion concentration of solution A than that of solution​ B?
​(c) By how many orders of magnitude do the concentrations​ differ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

pH definition

                         pH = - log [H⁺]

a) For pH = 2.4, solution A

                       2.4 = -log[H⁺]

                      [H⁺] = antilog⁻².⁴

                      [H⁺] = 0.00398

  For pH = 9.4, solution B

                       [H⁺] = antilog⁻⁹.⁴

                       [H⁺] = 3.98 x 10⁻¹⁰

b) Divide hydrogen-ion concentration of solution A by hydrogen-ion concentration of solution B.

                             0.00398 / 3.98 x 10⁻¹⁰

                             10000000 times

c) By 7, because 7 is the number of zeros
