Answer:
The concentrations of both the [tex]H^{+}[/tex] and [tex]OH^{-}[/tex] ions are equal to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the solution is water, the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of water is 1 x [tex]10^{-14}[/tex]. A neutral solution will have equal numbers of [tex]H^{+}[/tex] and [tex]OH^{-}[/tex]; Each will have a concentration of 1x[tex]10^{-7}[/tex] M. Since pH is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration, the pH of this neutral solution is 7. Neutral.
