pH is a major parameter that is measured in determining the water quality. It indicates whether a water source is of good quality to be used for drinking purposes and other house hold needs. In addition, maintaining the appropriate pH is critical for some chemical reactions as well. The pH of a system is dependent on the concentration of hydrogen ions present in that system. The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is the amount of hydrogen ions (in the units of mol) present in a liter of solution. pH is the logarithmic value of the inverse of the hydrogen ion concentration. This is the relationship between hydrogen ions and pH.
