Expert Answer
Part a)
The pH inside the stomach is around 2.0 and pH of the small intestine is about 6.0. We have to compare the H+ ion concentration in the stomach and in intestine.
Calculate the H+ ion concentration in the stomach and in intestine.
![pH log H
or
H10
In stomach, pH2
[H] 102
In intestines, pH = 6
