pH (#146)

pH (#146)

pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (mol dmsup-3/sup) in a solution.

Use the following equation to calculate pH when the concentration of Hsup+/sup is known:

(pH = - \log10{H+} )

This can be rearranged into the following equation, which is used to calculate the concentration of Hsup+/sup when the pH is known:

(H+ = 10-pH )

(pH = - \log10{H+} )
