Question

Can presence of H+ ion in water be estimated.how.

Answer 1

Yes, the presence of H⁺ ions in water can be estimated.

Explanation:

• The presence or concentration of the hydrogen ions in the solution is measured in terms of pH.
• Based on the presence of hydrogen ions, the solution is divided in to basic and acidic.
• The pH is measured in the scale of 14. If the value is less than 7, then the solution is basic. If the solution is more than 7, then the solution is acidic.
• The pH is given by the formula:

pH = - log₁₀ (aH₊)
