Luciana Rosales · Answer 1

Answer would be A because it is inversely related to H concentration.

Josue Hester · Answer 2

When ph decreases the hydrogen ion concentration increases because ph = - log (H)

Likewise, the other way around is true (when hydrogen ion concentration increases, pH decreases).
