Acids and Bases & pH
What is pH?
pH is the measure of the strength of the acid or base character of a substance. Water can function as an acid releasing hydrogen ions, also known as protons. It can also function as a base consuming those protons.

pH represents the power of hydrogen in a solution. It is defined mathematically with this formula: pH = -log (H+)

Neutralization
When an acid and a base mix together it neutralizes. When a strong acid is neutralized by a strong base there are no excess hydrogen ions left in the solution. The solution is said to be neutral as it is neither acidic nor alkaline. The pH of such a solution is close to a value of 7; the exact pH value is dependent on the temperature of the solution.
