It is the balance between the weight of these two types of ions which determine its pH value. In pure or distilled water these ions are in balance. H ions in a litre of pure water will weight 10-7 grams or 0.0000001 grams. So this figure is used to express the pH value.

pH is short for the Latin phrase pondus Hydrogenii or the 'weight of Hydrogen'.
pH, the potential of Hydrogen, is the measurement of the weight or amount of hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyl (HO¯) ions dissolved in water.
