What is pH?

Back

pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution, defined as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydronium ion concentration: pH = -log[H₃O⁺].

What is the relationship between pH and [H₃O⁺]?

Back

As pH decreases, the concentration of hydronium ions [H₃O⁺] increases, indicating a more acidic solution. Conversely, as pH increases, [H₃O⁺] decreases, indicating a more basic solution.

How do you calculate [H₃O⁺] from pH?

Back

To find [H₃O⁺] from pH, use the formula: [H₃O⁺] = 10^(-pH).
