The document discusses pH and how it is used to measure the acidity or basicity of solutions. pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are considered acidic, solutions with a pH equal to 7 are neutral, and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic. Several examples are provided to demonstrate how to calculate the pH from the H+ concentration or vice versa. The document also introduces pOH, which is defined similarly to pH but measures the hydroxide (OH-) ion concentration instead. Examples show how to relate pH, pOH, H+, and OH- using the equation pH + pOH = 14.
