Detailed explanation-1: -For example a pH of 2 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 3 and 1000 times more acidic than a pH of 5. A pH of 11 is 10 times more alkaline than a pH of 10. So values above 7 indicate alkalinity which increases as the number increases, 14 being the most alkaline.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, the aqueous solution with pH = 2 is 100 times more acidic than the aqueous solution with pH = 4.
Detailed explanation-3: -A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic. The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, pH 4 is ten times more acidic than pH 5 and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than pH 6.
Detailed explanation-4: -A solution of pH 3 will have 100 times more H+ (it is 100 times more acidic) than a solution of pH 5.
