A neutral solution has a pH of 7, meaning it is neither acidic nor basic. It contains equal concentrations of hydrogen ions (H\(^+\)) and hydroxide ions (OH\(^-\)).
congrats on reading the definition of neutral. now let's actually learn it.
pH: A measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution; calculated as $ - \log[H^+]$.
pOH: A measure of the hydroxide ion concentration in a solution; calculated as $ - \log[OH^-]$.
Buffer Solution: A system that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acids or bases are added.
