Question

‘More acidic a solution, more will it be its pH value’. Comment on the statement.

Answer 1

• pH is the measure of the concentration of ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$ions, and it expresses the acidic and basic nature of a substance.
• We, know that for acid the pH value is less than 7.
• So, the given statement ‘More acidic a solution, more will it be its pH value’ is wrong, since we know that, higher the acidic strength of a solution, lower would be its pH value.
