What Does a Neutral PH of 7 Actually Represent

Question

What does a neutral pH of 7 actually represent?
A) a greater number of H⁺ ions than OH− ions
B) a greater number of OH− ions than H⁺ ions
C) an equal number of H⁺ and OH− ions
D) no H⁺ and OH− ions are present

Accepted Answer

A neutral pH of 7 represents the balance between the concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution, resulting in an equal number of H+ and OH- ions.
