Solution

The correct option is A
pH

Explanation:
The pH of a solution can be defined as the negative LOGARITHM to the base 10 of the hydrogen ion concentration. pH is a measure of the basic or acidic power of a solution.
If the value of pH is less than 7, the solution must be acidic in nature.
If the value of pH is more than 7, the solution must be is basic in nature.
If the value of pH is equal to 7, it is neither acidic nor basic, it is neutral.
Hence, option A is correct answer.

pH is the negative of the logarithm of the H₃O⁺ ion concentration.

pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

, pOH is the negative of the logarithm of the OH^- ion concentration.

pOH = - log [OH^-]

pH + pOH = 14

what does this mean and what is a logarithm?
