pH, Hydrogen Ion Concentration Calculator
pH calculation formula:
pH = -log(1/H+)
Where:
H+: Hydrogen ion concentration in the solution
H+ concentration of acid is depended on its pKa, for strong acid like HCl,
its pKa=1, thus H+ concentration of 1 M HCl is also 1 M; for weak acid such as
acetic acid, its pKa=0.0000175, thus H+ concentration of 1 M acetic acid is:
1 * 0.0000175 = 0.0000175 M
