The acidity of a substance is measured by its \( pH \) value. In practice, \( pH \) is often assumed to be the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration \( H^+ \) (i.e. the number of moles of hydrogen ions per liter of solution): \[ pH = -\log{(H^+ )}. \] If an apple juice has a \( pH \) of \( 3.8 \) and a grapefruit juice has a \( pH \) of \( 3.6 \) then the hydrogen ion concentration (\( \mathrm{mol}/\mathrm{l} \)) in the apple juice is how much less than in the grapefruit juice? Round the result to six decimal places.

Loudness refers to how loud or soft a sound seems to a listener. The loudness \( L \) of sound in decibels, (\( \mathrm{dB} \)) is determined by the formula \[ L=10\log{⁡\left(\frac I{I_0}\right)}, \] where \( I \) is intensity of the sound waves (in watts per square meter, \( \mathrm{W}/\mathrm{m}^2 \)) and \( \mathrm{I}_0 \) is fixed and determined intensity of the sound (\( 10^{-12}\,\mathrm{W}/\mathrm{m}^2 \)) that can barely be perceived. \[ \] The intensity of the sound produced by the rock band is about \( 100 \) times greater than the intensity of the sound emitted by conventional motor vehicles. How much greater (in \( \mathrm{dB} \)) is loudness of rock band than loudness of motor vehicles?

Function \( f \) is given completely by the next graph. Identify which of the following statements is false.
\( f(x)=\log_2⁡|x|;\ x\in[0.25;8] \)
\( f(x)=|\log_2⁡ x |;\ x\in[0.25;8] \)
\( f(x)=|-\log_2⁡ x|;\ x\in[0.25;8] \)
\( f(x)=\left|\log_{\frac12}⁡ x \right|;\ x\in[0.25;8] \)
