Question

Why is pH an inverse measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution? Any help is appreciated:)

Answer 1

Answer;

This because as the concentration of hydronium ions increases, pH decreases.

Explanation;

• The pH is the inverse measure of the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) in a solution.
• This means that as the concentration of hydronium ions increases, the pH increases. A solution with a lower pH is more acidic, meaning that it has high concentration of hydronium ions.
• As the concentration of hydronium ions decreases the pH increases. A solution with a higher pH is more basic, which means it has lower hydronium ions concentration.
