In chemistry, the pH scale measures the acidity of a solution. Solutions with pH less
than 7 are considered acidic, while solutions with pH greater than 7 are considered
alkaline. A pH of 7 is considered neutral. The formula of pH is pH = -logx, where
x represents the concentration of hydrogen ions in mol/L. Below is a diagram that
conveys the pH of a few common foods and chemicals:

The pH scale was designed to make it convenient to express hydrogen ion concentrations that are small in aqueous solutions. The definiton of pH is in terms of base 10 logarithms.
pH =
- log[H*]
where [H*] is the hydrogen ion concentration.
a. If the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution is 7.26 x 10 mol L, the pH is
b. If the pH of a solution is 3.607, the hydrogen ion concentration is
mol L.
