The pH is a measure of the activity of the ion H+ (the negative logarithm in base 10); the scale is logarithmic.

NO!!! The 'p' in pH is short for 'the negative logarithm to base 10. The 'H' is for the hydrogen ion concentration. pH = -log(10)[H+] Mathemtically inverting [H^+] = 10^(-pH) So pH = 1 is equivalenrt to 10^-1 = 0.1 pH = 2 is equivalent to 10^-2 = 0.01 pH = 3 is equivlaanrt to 10^-3 = 0.001 : pH = 7 is equivalent to 10^-7 = 0.0000001 : pH = 14 is equivapanet to 10^(-14) = 0.00000000000001 So hopefully you can see that is is decreasing in powers of '10'. on an exponential scale. On a graph this will produce a curve, not a straight line.

Since pH is a logarithmic scale, each increase (or decrease) by 1 means 10 times, so the change of pH in a solution from 10 to 11 would be 10 times, 11 to 12 would be 10 times, and 12 to 13 would be 10 times, and (10)(10)(10) is 1000, so a solution with pH 13 is 1000 times more basic then a solution with pH 10
