Hydronium ion concentration of a medium is very important in industrial processes, pollution, acid rain, blood and body chemistry. In many cases its concentration ranges from 10<sup>-14<\/sup> to 10 mol dm<sup>-3<\/sup> in aqueous solutions.<br \/>\n\u2022 Therefore it is convenient to express the [H<sub>3<\/sub>O<sup>+<\/sup>] of solutions on logarithmic scale. The negative logarithm of hydronium ions or hydrogen ions concentration is called pH. The &#8216;p&#8217; in the term pH means power and &#8216;H<sup>+<\/sup>&#8216; stands for hydronium ions or hydrogen ions.
