    The ph of many cola_ type drinks is about 3.0. How many times greater is the hydronium ion concentration in these drinds than in neutral water? a. 10,000 times b. 1,000 times c. 7,000 times d. 100,000 times e. none of the above, water and most colas are the same.

    Usually, I don't really do homework problems, but I'm in a good mood. So let's go.

    pH by definition is the -log [H]

    [H] = conc of hydronium ion

    so a pH of 3 would indicate that the [H] is 0.001.

    neutral water's pH is 7... which would indicate that [H] is 0.0000001.

    hope that helps.
