The "p" represents the "Negative Logarithm", and the "H" stands for the molar concentration of dissolved hydrogen ions. It is unknown what the "p" actually stands for, but some suggest "Power of Hydrogen" ("potenz" means power in German), other suggest it stands for "potential".
The "H" stands for Hydrogen, in this case the hydrogen cation (H+). The "p" is shorthand for "negative logarithm thereof." Together, the term refers to the negative logarithm of the hydrogen cation concentration, which determines the acidity/basicity of the solution in question.
p means power, mathematically speaking. 'H' stands for relative concentration of H+ions (mole/l)
By definition
pH = -log [H+] or reverted: [H+] = 10-pH
so actually it means ' Negative power of ' H+concentration
The "p" in "pH" stands for -log. I'm not sure why that is, but that's what it means. pH is the -log of the concentration of H+ ions in a solution.

Stands for "potential Hydrogen Ion"
The p for "pH" stands for power. S.P.L. Sorensen said it stands for "power of hudrogen".
The term pH means potential hydrogen, which is a measure of acidity or alkalinity. The pH scale runs from 0 (very acidic), through 7 (neutral), up to 14 (very alkaline).
it pretty much means the potential of hydrogen. the amount of hydrogens it has stipulates its acidicity or alkalinity
H stands for hydrogen
"ph" means potential of hydrogen.
H is from hydrogen.
the p stands for "negative logarithm" or -log, a mathematical function. the H is the chemical symbol for hydrogen, in the case it represent the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration or -log[H+]. This is a good measurement of acidity or alkalinity as acids increase the H+ concentration and bases decrease it.
The H means hydrogen, but noone save the inventor of the pH system truly knows what the p means.
becoz pH is the negative log of H ions. pH=-log(H+)
technically, pH measures the amount of H+ in solution, so the lower the pH the more acidic the solution.. ("p" is a -log function, so pH is the same as -log of the concentration of H+) so when magnesium reacts with the acid, the acid (the substance which dissociates to produce H+ in solution) is being used up, so there's less H+ in solution, so the acidity of the solution drop, and the pH level rises.
A pH of 1 has a higher H+ concentration
p = -log H= concentration of hydrogen in solution (H+) therefore, pH= -log [H+] or [H+] = 10-pH
Hydrogen
The letter h in pH scale stands for Hydrogen. The proper description for the name ph. is potential of Hydrogen.
H is for Hydrogen. p[H] is a messurement for Hydrogen-ion koncentration and pH for the activity to be correct. the p is for the -log called anti-log (log=logarithm) meaning the exponent (number of the potense) of H ions. pH = -log [H+] or [H+] = 10-pH
hydrogen
inverse Log (H+)
pH is the scientific abbreviation for power of Hydrogen.p=power H=hydrogen. The "p" in pH comes from the notation of the probability of finding a Mole of H+ ions in a given amount of solution which is written as P(H+)=Moles of H+ per litre. Unfortunately the Probability expressed in numbers is not the ideal way to describe and compare things. The best way to do this is to have a scale and have everything fit between its extreemes. Thus the pH scale was devised where the negative log of the concentration of H+ ions gives a scale from 0 to 14. This does not mean that the definition of "p" in "pH" changed but it only says that the old name (probability of H+) is now being used to refer to the the "pH scale".
p is very pobably from power and H is Hydrogen
the p stands for "negative logarithm" or -log, a mathematical function. the H is the chemical symbol for hydrogen, in the case it represent the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration or -log[H+]. This is a good measurement of acidity or alkalinity as acids increase the H+ concentration and bases decrease it.
The H means hydrogen, but noone save the inventor of the pH system truly knows what the p means.
If you think about it really hard, pH doesn't quite make the F sound, but it's own unique sound very similar to F. Speak out loud: The P sound followed by the H sound. Keep going faster: "P---H, P--H, P-H, PH, until the two letters are closely heard next to each other. This is when you should understand why PH makes the F sound and how the letter H makes the letter P sound so much different when placed right after it. You can do the same thing with SH, TH, LK, etc. just think about it out loud.
p(x)=-log([x])So... pH=-log([H+])pH = 1.4
