(The pH of a solution is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and as such is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the solution.
The numerical value for pH is just the negative of the power of 10 of the molar concentration of H+ ions.
Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe a chemical property chemical. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH less than 7 is acidic in nature, A pH of 7 is neutral while a pH greater than 7 is basic in nature.
pH decreases with an increase in temperature.)
