pH is defined as :
Now for very highly concentrated acid ( [ H + ] > 1 M ) p H = − l o g ( [ H + ] ) < 0
Note:
It is a very common misconception about pH that it lies between 0 and 1 4 , it don't have any defined limits (as you can see from the definition itself). For some highly concentrated acids p H < 0 .
[ H + ] denotes the concentration of H + ions
