Is H Equal to Oh

In pure water, the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+], equals the hydroxide ion concentration, [OH-]. These concentrations can be calculated from the equation for the ionization of water. … An alkaline or basic solution is one in which the hydrogen ion concentration is less than 1 X 10-7 M.

Is H+ Same as OH?

The relationship is that they are the same concentration. The concentration of H+ is often expressed as [H+], of OH- as [OH-]. [x] means x moles/L and [H+] means 10^-7 (for pure water) and since every H+ in pure water came only from the water, [OH-] must be the same (10^-7 M).

At what concentration is H+ equal to OH?

In very general terms a solution is said to be neutral when the numbers of hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions are equal, each corresponding to an approximate concentration of 10−7 moles/l. This neutral point is temperature dependent and occurs at pH 7.0 at 25°C.
