pH scale

The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 A question to consider: Does 10.0 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid solution (see below) have a pH of minus 1?In this sub-topic pH is defined as being equal to minus the logarithm to the base ten of the hydrogen ion concentration, i.e.pH = – log10[H+(aq)]For hydrogen ion concentrations between 1.00 mol dm-3 (pH = 0) and 1.00 x 10-14 mol dm-3 (pH = 14) there is no contradiction between this definition...
