An acidic solution has pH 2. If it is made ten thousand times less acidic, what will be the approximate new pH?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Six

The governing relationship is pH = −log[H⁺]. A tenfold decrease in hydrogen-ion concentration raises pH by one unit. Ten thousand equals 10⁴, so making the solution 10,000 times less acidic means [H⁺] decreases by four powers of ten and pH rises by four units. Starting from pH 2: 2 + 4 = 6. Thus option B is correct. This assumes the stated change refers to hydrogen-ion concentration and ignores minor water-ion effects.
