21) Which of the following pH values indicates the highest concentration of hydronium ions in a solution?

A) pH = 1
B) pH = 2
C) pH = 3
D) pH = 4

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hydronium ions are equivalent to H+.

So as the H+/ H3O+ increases the pH will decrease or get more acidic.

The value of pH which indicates the highest concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is 4, i.e. pH=4.

What is pH?

pH of any solution is define as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydronium ions present in any solution and it is represented as:
pH = -log[H⁺]

From the definition it is clear that pH value is directly proportional to the concentration value of H⁺ ion in the solution. Higher value of pH means higher concentration so pH = 4 shows higher concentration.

Hence pH value 4 shows higher concentration.
