The pH of a solution is increased from 3 to 6; its H + ion concentration will be :

A.reduced to half
B.doubled
C.reduced by 1000 times✓ Correct
D.increased by 1000 times
Explanation

pH = 10 log H When pH changes by 1 unit  H changes 10 times. Therefore, if pH increases by 3 units.  H  reduces by 1000 times.
