pH 3 = 1/1000 pH 6 = 1/1000000 The H+ concentration goes down by a factor of 1000

Explanation:

pH is the negative log of the Hydrogen ion concentration.

So the negative anti log of # 10^-3 # is 3

#10^-3 = 1/1000#

The negative anti log of # 10^-6# = 6

# 10^-6 = 1/ 1000000#

pH 6 is 1000 times weaker than pH 3
