The acidity or basicity are expressed by pH (the negative logarithm of the activity of hydronium ion).
In an acid (pH <7) it should be the hydronium ion: H+ or H3O+ In a base (pH >7) it should be the hydroxide/hydroxil ion: OH-
lower
Hydronium is the protonated water molecule: H3O+It is found in pure water formed by autoprotolysis, at concentration of 1.0*10-7 mol/L:H2O + H2O
pH indicator
A pH of 3.0 has a higher hydronium ion concentration.
pH is defined by the concentration of Hydronium ions. There is no definite pH for the hydronium ion or any acid or base.
AnswerWe use ph as the symbol to express hydronium ion concentration.
Concentration of hydrogen (or hydronium) ion.
pH is minus of logarithm of concentration of hydronium ion
The hydroxide ion concentration equals the hydronium ion concentration at a (neutral) pH of 7
The hydronium ion concentration measures how acidic a substance is. A high hydronium ion concentration means the substance is acidic. A low hydronium ion concentration means the substance is basic. You may be more familiar thinking of it as the pH scale. At pH = 7 [H3O]+ = 10-7 and [OH]- = 10-7

pH = 11.0
pH = - log [H3O+]. It is the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion concentration.
pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion (hydronium ion) concentration. It is - log [H+] or - log [H3O+]
The acidity and the basicity are expressed by pH (the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion activity).
