pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration. Comparing a pH 5 and a pH 8 solution, which of the following is true? w) There are 1,000 times more hydrogen ions in the pH 8 solution. x) There are 1,000 times more hydrogen ions in the pH 5 solution. y) There are 3 times more hydrogen ions in the pH 8 solution. z) Cannot tell the difference between these two solutions by pH, since the numbers are so close.
