PH: History, Measurement, Applications & Standards

In chemistry, pH (/piːˈheɪtʃ/ or /piːˈeɪtʃ/; 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…
