Transcript text: Question 2 (1 point)
Lemon juice has a $\mathrm{pH}=2$ and Drano has a $\mathrm{pH}=9$, which one contains more hydrogen ions?
A) Lemon juice
B) Tomato juice
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand pH and Hydrogen Ion Concentration
The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (\( \text{H}^+ \)) in a solution.
A lower pH value indicates a higher concentration of hydrogen ions.
Step 2: Compare pH Values
Lemon juice has a pH of 2.
Drano has a pH of 9.
Step 3: Determine Which Has More Hydrogen Ions
Since a lower pH value corresponds to a higher concentration of hydrogen ions, lemon juice with a pH of 2 has more hydrogen ions than Drano with a pH of 9.
