pH Using H+ Concentration

pH, the potential of hydrogen, is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

pH equals the base 10 logarithm of the H+ concentration.

Formula

QuantityVariable["pH", "Unitless"] == -(Log[Quantity[1, "Liters"/"Moles"]*QuantityVariable[Row[{"[", Superscript["H", "+"], "]"}], "Molarity"]]/Log[10])
