PH
Measure of the level of acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution
PH
In chemistry, pH ( or ; pee-AYCH) is a logarithmic scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of aqueous solutions. Acidic solutions (solutions with higher concentrations of hydrogen (H+) cations) are measured to have lower pH values than basic or alkaline solutions. While the origin of the symbol 'pH' can be traced back to its original inventor, and the 'H' refers clearly to hydrogen, the exact original meaning of the letter 'p' in pH is still disputed; it has since acquired a more general technical meaning that is used in numerous other contexts. The pH scale is logarithmic and inversely indicates the activity of hydrogen cations in the solution pH = − log 10 ( a H +...
