Answer:

At pH=7, number of hydrogen ions would be equal to number of hydroxide ions in a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that at 25
0_(C),
[H^(+)][OH^(-)]=10^(-14)

where species inside third bracket represent concentrations in molarity

When number of hydrogen ion will be equal to number of hydroxide ions then
[H^(+)]=[OH^(-)]

So
[H^(+)]^(2)=10^(-14) or
[H^(+)]=10^(-7)M

Hence pH=
-log[H^(+)]=-log[10^(-7)]=7
