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.
