Can the pH of a solution be negative? Explain.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the pH of a solution can be negative should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

To express the small number, p scale is used, which implies to take the log of a number. Since, the concentration of [H+] in aqueous solution is small, by using the p scale in the form of pH scale, it is better way to represent acidity of solution.

Thus, pH = -log [H+].

Explanation

pH measures the hydrogen ion concentration and it stands for potential of hydrogen which determines the acidity and basicity of the solution. It is equal to the minus log of concentration of hydrogen.

pH = -log [H+]

Generally, pH value ranges from 0 to 14
