Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The way how $pH$ is defined should be given.

Concept introduction:

$pHdefinition$:

The concentration of hydrogen ion is measured using $\text{pH}$ scale.  The acidity of aqueous solution is expressed by $\text{pH}$ scale.

The $\text{pH}$ of a solution is defined as the negative base-10 logarithm of the hydrogen ion or hydronium ion concentration.

$\text{pH}\text{=}{\text{-log[H}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}$
