Document Summary

Ph: the negative logarithm (to the base 10) of the hydronium ion activity. The negative sign in the definition of ph means that the higher the concentration of. The ph of a basic solution is greater than 7. The ph of a neutral solution is equal to 7. The ph of an acidic solution is less than 7. The range is 0 to 14, but values outside this range is possible. The approximate value of the ph of an aqueous solution can be determined very quickly by using a strip of universal indicator paper. Most precise measurements are made with a ph meter . To convert a ph value into a concentration of h3o+ ions, reverse the sign of the ph and then take its antilogarithm. To summarize, the ph scale is used to report the molar concentration of h3o1 ions: ph.
