Answer to Question #136885 in Biochemistry for Jelly

Question

Why we find pH to calculate the concentration of H+ ions?

Answer 1

Hydrogen ion concentration is more conveniently expressed as pH, which is the logarithm of the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion concentration in gram moles per liter. Thus, in a neutral solution the hydrogen ion (H⁺) and the hydroxyl ion (OH⁻) concentrations are equal, and each is equal to 10⁻⁷. A pH of 7 is neutral.
