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)
