Pure water has a ph of 7, but some cases of acid precipitation have been recorded with a ph close to 3. this means that acid rain has a concentration of hydrogen ions that is _____ times the hydrogen ion concentration of pure water.

Respuesta :

The answer to this question would be 10000
The formula to find pH is using log which mean that for every 1 less pH it will be 10 times more hydrogen ion concentration. In this case, pH of pure water is 7 and the acid rain is 3. That means the acid rain water has higher hydrogen concentration than pure water. The calculation for the ratio would be:
10^7-3= 10^4
