Chapter 2, Problem 10RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: pH is defined as the negative logarithm of H+ ion concentration. There is an inverse relationship between the pH and the number of H+ ions present. When there is more H+ ion present, the pH of the solution is low. It means the substance is acidic. When there are less H+ ions present, the pH of the solution becomes high. It means the substance is basic. The neutral substance have no presence of H+ ions, that is why their pH is neutral and around 7 on the pH scale.
