Definition to use for the log (logarithm):

the logarithm of a number (n) to a given base (b) is the exponent (e) to which the base must be raised in order to produce that number.

(Raising to the power is the inverse of taking the logarithm.)

logb(n) = e or be = n

For example, the logarithm of 1000 to base 10 is 3 ( log10(1000) = 3),

because 10 to the power of 3 is 1000: 103 = 1000.

-log10[H+] is (by definition) used to calculate the pH of a dilute solution in which [H+] = concentration of H+ (or H3O+) in mol/L.

pH = -log10[H+] or [H+] = 10-pH

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
