Expert Solution
pH of a solution

pH is power of hydrogen or potential of hydrogen.

pH scale is used to determine the nature of a solution. pH scale ranges from 0 - 14

If pH > 7 , nature of solution is acidic 

If pH = 7 , nature of solution is neutral

If pH < 7 , nature of solution is basic/alkaline

 

pH is minus logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration( [H+]  ). 

pH = - log[H+]                        •••••(1) 

 

Ionic product of water (Kw ) is given by product of hydrogen ion concentration and hydroxide ion concentration( [OH-] ). Its value is 10-14  at 298 K. 

Kw =[H+][OH-]                      •••••(2)
