The equation for the ph of a substance is ph = –log[h+], where h+ is the concentration of hydrogen ions. a basic solution has a ph of 11.2. an acidic solution has a ph of 2.4. what is the approximate difference in the concentration of hydrogen ions between the two solutions?

0.003981 . . . . moles per liter

Step-by-step explanation:

The concentration of H+ ions in the acid will be ...

10^(-2.4) ≈ 0.003981 . . . . moles per liter

The concentration of H+ ions in the base will be ...

10^-11.2 ≈ 0.000 000 000 006310 . . . . moles per liter

To a few decimal places, the difference is ...

0.003981 . . . . moles per liter

The two numbers differ by about 9 orders of magnitude, so the value of the difference between the larger and the smaller is essentially the value of the larger number. The smaller one, by comparison, can be considered to be zero (for subtraction purposes).

not enough information

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
