Re: PH
The pH formula is equal to -log base 10 of the Hydrogen ion concentration. However, I am not sure how the equation was derived. I believe that it has something to do with the fact that if there are more hydrogen atoms, the molecule will have more protons and electrons and is thus more acidic.

Re: PH
To add onto this, a more visual representation is this:
p[H] = -log10[H3O+]
So, for example, if [H3O+] = 1.0 * 10-7 mol/L, the pH would equal 7.
p[H] = -log10[H3O+]
So, for example, if [H3O+] = 1.0 * 10-7 mol/L, the pH would equal 7.

Re: PH
pH = -log[H3O+]
pH is a measure of the amount of hydrogen ions in the solution! A pH of 1 to 6.9 is acidic, 7 is neutral, and 7.1 to 14 is basic.
