Imagine that you develop a procedure to measure the pH of in the matrix and the intermembrane space of a mitochondrion. What pattern of pH would you see? The pH in the intermembrane space will contain more H+ and have a lower pH compared to the matrix. The pH in the intermembrane space will contain more H+ and have a higher pH compared to the matrix. The pH within the matrix will contain more H+ and have a lower pH compared to the intermembrane space. The pH within the matrix will contain more H+ and have a higher pH compared to the intermembrane space.

Step 1

Introduction :- pH is the potential of hydrogen atom . It is the measure of acidity and alkalinity of an compound or organ .It is represented by a scale which is also known as pH scale . Its value ranges from 1-14 . The compounds having pH lower than 7 , are considered as acidic and those compounds which are having pH more than 7 are alkaline in nature . *7* is the neutral point means at tha pH of 7 , the molecule or the environment inside a organelle or the environment of any space like intermembrane space , is neither acidic and nor alkaline .

Acid + base = water (neutral) + salt(neutral)
