What would its new pH be if the concentration of H3O plus ions in the solution were increased by 100 times and why?

The new pH would be 5.5.
pH = -log(H+)
therefore 10 to the power of -5.5 = concentration of H3O+ ions.
10 to the power of -5.5 = 3.16x10 to the power of -8.
multiplied by 100 = 3.16x10 to the power of -6.
-log(3.16x10 to the power of -6) = 5.5

∙ 12y agoGoing from right to left, each number on the ph scale represents a 10 fold increase in the concentration of H3O+ ions.
For example, water has a ph of 7. Urine has 10 times more H3O+ ions (than water) with a ph of 6. Vinegar has 10,000 more H3O+ ions (than water) with a ph of 3.
An increase of 100 times would mean moving left on the ph scale by 2. If you started at say 7.5, subtract 2, to get 5.5.

If a solution of pH 6 was made into a solution of pH 3 the concentration of hydrogen ions would need to be?
1000 times increased. 106-3 = 103 =1000 because the pH scale is logarithmic.
Adding a base to a solution would?
reduce the H+ concentration
What concentration of a sodium chloride solution would be hypertonic?
9.000%
How can you put powers of concentration in a sentence?
Example sentence - He knew he would have to utilize his powers of concentration in order to find a viable solution.
An acidic solution having a pH of 4 is how many times more acidic than a solution of pH9?
The pH scale represents a count of ions (hydrogen), or more accurately the "activity" of hydrogen ions. The pH is the negative of the logarithm (base 10) of the concentration in moles per liter. A solution with a pH of 4 is 100 times as concentrated as one with a pH of 6.
If a solution of pH 6 was made into a solution of pH 3 the concentration of hydrogen ions would need to be?
1000 times increased. 106-3 = 103 =1000 because the pH scale is logarithmic.
How do you determine the concentration of solution?
To determine the concentration of a solution, you would need to separate the solution. You then determine how much of the solution is diluted, and how much is whole.
If the pH of a solution is 6 would you expect to find more or fewer hydrogen ions than a solution with a pH of 3?
A lower pH means more hydronium; each decrease by 1 means the concentration is increased tenfold. You would expect to find fewer hydrogen ions in the pH 6 solution (1000 times fewer ions).
Which would you expect to have a greater influence on the effect of a solution in natural water concentration or solubility?
The concentration; to prepare a solution the compound must have a solubility.
Effect on H concentration in a solution in base?
a base would decrease the ph or hydrogen concentration
What is a relatively low solute concentration called?
The solution would be a hypotonic solution.
Adding a base to a solution would?
reduce the H+ concentration
What concentration of a sodium chloride solution would be hypertonic?
9.000%
Why would a solution be called isotonic?
A solution with the same ratio of solute to solvent (concentration) as another solution is called isotonic. If it has more solvent and thus a lower solute concentration, then it is called hypertonic.
What is a hypertonic solutions?
Solution that has less concentration than its surroundings and which would lead the solution from the surrounding to enter the body to compensate for the low concentration
What is it called when water molecules move from a low concentration of a solutes to a high concentration of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
