The pH of a solution is 5.0. To this solution sufficient acid is added to decrease the pH to 2. The increase in hydrogen ion concentration would be

A

6 times

B

90 times

C

100 times

D

1000 times

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`pH =5.0 , [H^+]=10^(-5)`
When `pH=2.0" then "[H^+]=10^(-2)`
Increase in `[H^+]` is 1000 times
