Whether a solution is acidic or basic depends upon the relative concentrations of the two ions. In an acid solution, the hydrogen-ion concentration is greater than 1 x 10-7 mole/liter. In a basic solution, it is less, with a corresponding increase in hydroxyl-ion concentration. 1, record 1, English, - hydroxyl%2Dion%20concentration

[...] les milieux acides les plus concentrés correspondent à une concentration en protons de 1 mole par litre, c'est-à-dire à un pH égal à 0. Cette valeur constitue la limite de l'échelle de pH en milieu acide. La concentration des ions hydroxydes est alors égale à 10-14 mole par litre [...]. Les milieux neutres sont ceux où la concentration de H+ est égale à celle de HO-. Il leur correspond évidemment un pH égal à 7. 1, record 1, French, - concentration%20des%20ions%20hydroxydes
