pH may be a determined value supported an outlined scale, almost like temperature. This means that pH of water isn't a physical parameter which will be measured as a degree or during a quantity. Instead, it's a figure between 0 and 14 defining how acidic or basic a body of water is along a scale ¹. The lower the amount , the more acidic the water is. The higher the amount , the more basic it's . A pH of 7 is considered neutral. The scale means each number below 7 is 10 times more acidic than the previous number when counting down. Likewise, when counting up above 7, each number is 10 times more basic than the previous number. pH stands for the “power of hydrogen” ³. The numerical value of pH is decided by the molarity of hydrogen ions (H+) ³. This is done by taking the negative logarithm of the H+ concentration (-log(H+)). For example, if a solution has a H+ concentration of 10-3 M, the pH of the solution will be -log(10-3), which equals 3.This determination is due to the effect of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxyl ions (OH-) on pH. The higher the H+ concentration, the lower the pH, and therefore the higher the OH- concentration, the upper the pH. At a neutral pH of 7 (pure water), the concentration of both H+ ions and OH- ions is 10â»â· M. Thus the ions H+ and OH- are always paired – as the concentration of one increases, the other will decrease; regardless of pH, the sum of the ions will always equal 10⻹ⴠM ². Due to this influence, H+ and OH- are associated with the essential definitions of acids and bases.
