The pH of a solution is 5. Its hydrogen ion concentration is increased

1.	The pH of a solution is 5. Its hydrogen ion concentration is increased 100 times. What is the pH of the resulting solution ?
Answer» SOLUTION :`pH = 5 means [H^(+)] = 10^(-5)M`. On increasing 100 times, new `[H^(+)] = 10^(-3)M`. So pH = 3.
