Maybe this is too advanced for High School chemistry, but I'm curious.. How do you calculate the pH of a solution?
I saw the formula -log[H+]
What is H+?
Could someone show me a couple of examples, first with HCl, then with H2SO4?
What about H2O?

Okay one thing I'm not understanding is where the equilibrium numbers from from.
eg: [NO2]2
-------- = 0.33
[N2O4]
I have no idea how you get numbers from the letters? Is it based on RMM or something?

This is equilibrium constant, in most cases these are measured experimentally and listed in tables.
