A pH scale with pH values of some aqueous solutions. Look at the figure showing the pH values of some familiar aqueous solutions. What is the difference between H+ concentration in an acidic solution such as lemon juice (pH 2) and a basic solution such as household bleach (pH 13)? A pH scale with pH values of some aqueous solutions. Look at the figure showing the pH values of some familiar aqueous solutions. What is the difference between H+ concentration in an acidic solution such as lemon juice (pH 2) and a basic solution such as household bleach (pH 13)? The H+ concentration of lemon juice is higher than the H+ concentration of household bleach by a factor of 11. The H+ concentration of lemon juice is higher than the H+ concentration of household bleach by a factor of 1011 (100 billion). The H+ concentration of household bleach is higher than the H+ concentration of lemon juice by a factor of 1011 (100 billion).

Respuesta :

Answer: The [tex]H^+[/tex] concentration of lemon juice is higher than the [tex]H^+[/tex] concentration of household bleach by a factor of [tex]10^{11}[/tex] (100 billion)

Explanation:- pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. Lower is the pH higher is the [tex]H^+[/tex] concentration.

[tex]pH=-log[H^+][/tex]

Acidic solutions have pH less than 7, neutral solutions have pH 7 and basic solutions have pH more than 7.

[tex]2=-log[H^+][/tex]

[tex]H^+=10^{-2}[/tex]

Thus lemon juice with pH=2 , is acidic and has [tex]10^{-2}M[/tex]  of [tex]H^+[/tex] concentration.

[tex]13=-log[H^+][/tex]

[tex]H^+=10^{-13}[/tex]

Thus household bleach with pH=13 , is basic and has [tex]10^{-13}M[/tex]  of [tex]H^+[/tex] concentration.

[tex]\frac{pH_{acid}}{pH_{base}}=\frac{10^{-2}}{10^{-13}}=10^{11}[/tex]

Thus the [tex]H^+[/tex] concentration of lemon juice is higher than the [tex]H^+[/tex] concentration of household bleach by a factor of [tex]10^{11}[/tex] (100 billion)
