People use the pH scale to show how acidic or alkaic something is, in chemistry there are a wide range of experiments that require a substance to be neutralized in order for the next stage to take place and that can be done by finding something of opposite pH, for instance if you wanted to neutralize Hydrochloric acid of pH 1 then you would need an alkali of pH 14
The term pH was created by Sorensen in 1909.

Yes, the concept of pH does not include units because it is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a scale from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral.
The concept of pH is applicable only to aqueous solutions, it has no relevance to sunflower oil which is not soluble in water.

The concept of pH was introduced by Danish chemist Søren Peder Lauritz Sørensen in 1909. The pH scale as we know it today was developed by Arnold Orville Beckman in 1934. However, the pH table or grid used to correlate pH with various substances does not have a single inventor, as it is simply a tool built on the concept of pH.
For drinking purposes, the daily required PH is 7.0.
It is not a discovery - it is a chemical concept.

The pH is a measure of acidity/basicity of liquids. The pH scale is - by convention - between 0 an 14:- pH under 7: acid- pH=7: neutral- pH over 7: basic
pH effectively measures how many hydrogen ions there are in volume of water. A pH meter uses litmus paper to measure the ions.
A pH meter works by measuring the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. It uses a glass electrode that generates a voltage proportional to the pH of the solution. This voltage is then converted into a pH reading displayed on the meter.
