Chapter 2.3, Problem 3CYP

Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The solution with a $pH$ of 6 contains more $H^{+}$ ion than a solution with a $pH$ of 8.

Introduction:

The full form of $pH$ is the potential of Hydrogen. It is a measuring scale which is used to find the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution. Using this scale, one can find whether the given solution is acidic or basic. A $pH$ between 0 and 6 indicates that the solution is acidic and a pH between 8 and 14 indicates that the solution is basic. If the $pH$ is 7, it indicates that the solution is neutral, or it is neither acidic nor basic.
