Question : 26 of 60
Marks: +1, -0
Consider the pH\mathrm{pH} value of the following acidic samples: The decreasing order of their H+\mathrm{H}^{+}ion concentration is
S.No. Sample pH Value
1. Lemon Juice 2.2
2. Gastric Juice 1.2
3. Vinegar 3.76
4. Dil. Acetic acid 3.0
Solution:  
For a solution, the more the H+\mathrm{H}^{+} ion concentration, solution will be acidic. On the pH\mathrm{pH} scale, 7 is neutral, higher than 7 is basic and less than 7 is acidic. The pH\mathrm{pH} scale given below is depicting that as the solution becomes more and more acidic, the H+\mathrm{H}^{+}ion concentration increases and as it becomes more and more basic the H+\mathrm{H}^{+}ion concentration decreases and OH−\mathrm{OH}^{-}ion concentration increases. pHSCALE
Concentration of H+>OH−\mathrm{H}^{+} > \mathrm{OH}^{-}Concentration of H+<OH−\mathrm{H}^{+} < \mathrm{OH}^{-}
at pH=7(.\mathrm{pH}=7 (. at 25∘ C25^{\circ}\,\mathrm{C} or 77∘ F)77^{\circ}\,\mathrm{F}) the number of OH−\mathrm{OH}^{-} ions is equal to the number of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}ions.
Thus, the correct decreasing order of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}ion concentration in the given acidic sample will be:
Gastric Juice >> Lemon Juice >> dil. Acetic acid >> Vinegar
