A solution with pH = 2 is more acidic then one with a pH = 6 by a factor of

A

4

B

12

C

400

D

`10^(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

D

`pH = 2, therefore [H_(3)O^(o+)] = 10^(-2)M`
`pH = 6, therefore [H_(3)O^(o+)] = 10^(-6)M`
`therefore (10^(-2))/(10^(-6)) = 10^(-4)`
