Definition:
The term pH refers to the measurement of hydrogen ion concentration in a solution and defined
as the negative log of H+ ions concentration
pH is a determined value based on a defined scale, similar to temperature. This means that pH
of water is not a physical parameter that can be measured as a concentration or in a quantity.
Instead, it is a figure between 0 and 14 defining how acidic or basic a particular solution can
be, along a logarithmic scale
pH = -log [H+]
The values of pH 0 to a little less than 7 are termed as acidic and the values of pH a little above
7 to 14 are termed as basic. When the concentration of H+ and –OH are equal, then the
solution is considered neural, with pH value equal to 7
