**a ph of 6 is how many times more acidic than a ph of 9?**

**Answer** : The pH scale is a logarithmic scale, which means that each unit change on the pH scale represents a tenfold difference in acidity or alkalinity. So, a pH of 6 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 7, and a pH of 6 is 100 times more acidic than a pH of 8, and so on.

In this case, a pH of 6 is **1,000 times more acidic** than a pH of 9 because you have gone three pH units down the scale (6 to 9), and each unit represents a tenfold difference.
