The scale that chemists use to describe the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is know as the pH Scale
No, pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. pOH would measure hydroxide concentration.
It shows the concentration of H+ ions (if pH is less than 7) or OH- ions (if pH is above 7). pH + pOH = 14
pH scale
The pH scale is a measurement system that indicates the concentration of Hydrogen ions also called Protons.
The pH scale is the widely used universal scale, (which measures the hydrogen ion concentration of solutions) to measure the acidity or alkalinity of chemical solutions. It should be mentioned that the pH value is dependent on the temperature.
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The numerical value of this scale is the negative base 10 logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.
pH stands for power of hydrogen and indicates concentration of Hydrogen ions. pOH indicates concentration of hydroxide ions.
pH scale
pH Paper. Litmus paper Hydrogen ions determine how acidic a solution is, the lower the number on the pH scale, the more acidic it is. The color for litmus paper would be a red it it was 1 and blue if it was a base.
The pH scale is a Science indicator, Not a Mathmatical one :-)
