    A neutral solution is when the H⁺ concentration is equal to OH⁻ concentration.

    Since there are equal amounts of both H⁺ and OH⁻, solution is neither basic nor acidic, they both react to form water.

    kw is the ionic product of water

    kw = [H⁺][OH⁻]

    kw = 8.0 x 10⁻¹⁴

    since [H⁺]=[OH⁻]

    kw = [H⁺]²

    [H⁺] = √ (8x10⁻¹⁴)

    [H⁺] = 2.82 x 10⁻⁷ M

    pH is calculated using the following equation

    pH = - log [H⁺]

    pH = - log (2.82 x 10⁻⁷ M)

    pH = 6.54
