Dear,

I have made a 10x10x10 box with 200 hexanoic acid molecules and fill full of water.

Please let me know how can I do to know and change the pH of this solution?


The concept of pH is ill-defined for molecular simulations, in the absence of the ability to transfer protons. For classical MD, you have fixed protonation state and thus you can't really have "pH" in the classical sense. I suppose you could get an idea of what the pH should be by measuring the ratio of deprotonated and protonated species in your system (i.e. Henderson-Hasselbalch).
