A laboratory has two aqueous acid solutions, P and Q. One solution contains a strong acid and the other contains a weak acid.
The solutions have the same concentration of dissolved acid.
| Solution | Concentration of dissolved acid in mol/dm³ | pH |
|---|---|---|
| P | 0.100 | 1 |
| Q | 0.100 | 3 |
Explain which solution contains the strong acid.
Calculate how many times greater the hydrogen ion concentration is in solution P than in solution Q.
