Question 1

A student measures the hydrogen ion concentration, $[\text{H}^{+}]$, of three aqueous solutions at $298\text{ K}$ and obtains the following results: • Solution A: $[\text{H}^{+}] = 1 \times 10^{-3}\text{ mol L}^{-1}$ • Solution B: $[\text{H}^{+}] = 1 \times 10^{-5}\text{ mol L}^{-1}$ • Solution C: $[\text{H}^{+}] = 1 \times 10^{-7}\text{ mol L}^{-1}$ (a) State which solution is the most acidic. (1 mark) (b) Explain why the pH of solution C is different from that of solution B, using a statement about the dependence of pH on hydrogen ion concentration. (1 mark)

Question 2

A student prepares two aqueous solutions. Solution A has a hydrogen ion concentration of $[\text{H}^{+}] = 1.0 \times 10^{-3}$ mol/L, and Solution B has $[\text{H}^{+}] = 1.0 \times 10^{-5}$ mol/L. Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the hydrogen ion concentration and pH of these solutions?
