Solution

The false statement is: "A solution with a pH of 2 has 10 times the [H3O+] as a solution with a pH of 1."

This is incorrect because the pH scale is logarithmic, meaning each unit represents a tenfold difference in acidity. Therefore, a solution with a pH of 2 actually has 10 times less [H3O+] than a solution with a pH of 1, not more.
