2). The ph of a solution decreases by 2.0. how does the hydronium ion concentration of the
solution change?
Ans: increases to 100 times the original concentration
3). Which describes an alkaline solution?
Ans: acidic (NOT CORRECT)
4). Which of these correctly defines the ph of a solution?

use mc015-2.jpg.
Ans: 9.90
6). Which statement best describes the ph of pure water?
