Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The pH of a solution is inversely proportional to hydrogen (H+) ion concentration in it.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pH of a solution is defined as the-log of the hydrogen ion concentration or. pH =-log [H+] Thus the pH of a solution changes with the hydrogen concentration as follows. [H+]
Detailed explanation-3: -The pH value of a solution directly measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the solution. Acids have a large H+ concentration, which translates to a small pH value. Bases have very little H+. Basic solutions have large pH values-greater than pH 7.
