Question

22. pH is a measure of ______________.

a. hydrogen ion concentration. c. hydroxide ion concentration.
b. hydrogen gas concentration. d. hydrolysis.

Answer 1

A.Hydrogen Ion concentration

Answer 2

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

pH is the measure of concentration of hydrogen ions present in a solution.

Mathematically, pH = -
`(1)/([H^(+)])`

where
`[H^(+)]` = concentration of hydrogen ions

More is the concentration of hydrogen ions present in a solution, less will be the value of pH. Hence, more will be the acidic nature of the solution.

Thus, we can conclude that pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration.
