Complete the sentence. The higher the hydrogen ion concentration, the ______ the pH.

higher

lower

closer to 7

closer to 14

Respuesta :

The answer would be lower because the higher the pH is he lower the number is

Answer: Higher the hydrogen ion concentration, lower will be the pH.

Solution:

The negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in mol per litre of the solution.

pH= power of hydrogen ions

[tex]ph=-log[H^+]=log\frac{1}{[H^+]}[/tex]

As we can see from the formula ,if the concentration of hydrogen ion is inversely proportional to pH.
