The concentration of H⁺ or H₃O⁺ ions in a solution imparts acidic character to the solution.
• According to Arrhenius, an acid is a substance which dissociates to give hydrogen/hydronium ions (H⁺/H₃O⁺) in its solution with water.
• The greater the rate of dissociation in water, the greater is the concentration of hydronium ions, and greater is the acidic strength of the solution.
• The acidic character and concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is related by the formula :
pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺]
Where pH is the acidity of the solution,
and H₃O⁺ is the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution.
