Question

What is meant, in terms of concentration of H+ and OH- ions, if we say a solution has a neutral pH?

Expert Solution

Step 1

pH is defined as negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in a medium.

pH is the measure of amount of hydrogen ions in a solution.

pH=-log10[H+],

If we say,solution has a pH of 6.5 ,it means that concentration of H+ ions in the that particular solution expressed in negative logarithmic term is 6.5.

Any solution below 7 is called as acidic and above 7 is basic solution.
