Finding The PH Of Basic Solutions - Example 3

In chemistry, pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is the negative of the logarithm to base 10 of the concentration of hydronium ions (HO), which is a measure of the number of hydrogen ions in a solution. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are alkaline or basic. It is approximately the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the activity of the hydrogen ion. Physically, pH refers to the negative of the logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity. The pH scale is traceable to a set of standard solutions whose pH is established by international agreement.
