Suppose a mixture's hydrogen ion concentration is increased by a factor of 100...?

...By How much and in what direction will the pH change?



its to the left right? but is it by 100? or am i missing something?



(Ok, my last algebra question for the night, I've been spending hours on this, now it's almost 2 AM and I need to know what is going on so I can get some sleep and go to class at 8 AM. Can anybody help me out here? It would be SO appreciated. Thanks)Suppose a mixture's hydrogen ion concentration is increased by a factor of 100...?
The pH will change by two. It will go down. If you start out at pH 5 you will end up at pH3.

pH is defined as the negative log ouf the hydrogen ion concentration. If it changes by a factor of 100, the log changes by two. If the concentration goes up, the pH will go down.Suppose a mixture's hydrogen ion concentration is increased by a factor of 100...?
think you mean by a factor of 10 not 100.
pH is log (base 10) hydrogen ion concentration



log 100 is 2



so pH is altered by 2 and more acid so reduced by 2 (to the lefT)
