A measurement of hydrogen ion concentration is pH, which equals-log[H+], which is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration (actually activity, but that is usually ignored). This quantity can be measured with a hydrogen electrode (as found in a pH meter), which is a type of ion selective electrode.

Why you need pH?
pH is used as a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.
How is a change in hydrogen ion concentration reflected in the pH?
pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration; so an increase in hydrogen ion concentration give a reduction in pH. A reduction in hydrogen ion concentration causes an increase in pH.
What is the difference in the amount of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion in the solution with pH7?
None. In a solution with a pH of 7 the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to the hydroxide ion concentration.
What receptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration?
A chemoreceptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration.
Which substances decrease the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution?
Adding a base the hydrogen concentration decrease.

What has the author H Galster written?

What is the pH of a solution that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 110?
A hydrogen ion concentration of 110? 110 what? Or is that supposed to be 1x101
What is the difference in the amount of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion in the solution with pH7?
None. In a solution with a pH of 7 the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to the hydroxide ion concentration.
What receptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration?
A chemoreceptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration.
Which kind of compound increases the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution?
Acids increase the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
What is the difference between pH and hydrogen ion concentration?
The pH value of a particular solution is equivalent to -log[hydrogen ion concentration].
Which substances decrease the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution?
Adding a base the hydrogen concentration decrease.
How does the concentration of hydrogen ions vary with pH?
pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. So lowering pH from 5 to 4 means a ten times increase in hydrogen ion concentration. Increasing pH by 1 results in decreasing hydrogen ion concentration to 1/10th its former level.
What happens to the hydrogen ion concentration as you decrease the pH?
Hydrogen ion concentration increases.
What is the pH of a solution in which the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ion?
Acidic
