The concept of pH was first introduced by Danish chemist Søren Peder Lauritz Sørensen at the Carlsberg Laboratory in 1909. Sørensen suggested the notation "PH" for convenience, standing for "power of hydrogen", using the cologarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution, p[H]

In Copenhagen Denmark at the Carlsberg brewery.

The concept of p[H] was first introduced by Danish chemist Søren Peder Lauritz Sørensen at the Carlsberg Laboratory in 1909, and revised to the modern pH in 1924 after it became apparent that electromotive force in cells depended on activity rather than concentration of hydrogen ions.

The man that is credited with discovering the pH scale is Danish scientist Soren Sorenson. He created this scale to calculate acidity.

What is the pH level of a pineapple juice?

first tell me what pH is pH, for those of us who skipped grade school science class and haven't discovered Google, is the level of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The scale ranges from 0 (highly acidic) to 14 (highly alkaline). Pure water, which is neither acidic nor alkaline, has a pH of 7. To answer the original question, pineapple juice, has a pH of 3, about the same as orange juice.--tw2

What is the most acidic pH 10 pH 3 pH 2 pH 6 pH 8 pH 12 pH 1 pH 7.5?

The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution is. Remember, pH 7.0 is H2O. As pH decreases below 7, the solution's acidity increases. As pH increase above 7, the basicity of the solution increases. Hence, in the choices you provided, pH 1.0 is most acidic.


What is the full form of pH who discovered it?

"pH of a liquid" means "the negative of the logarithm to the base 10 of the activity of electrically mobile positive hydrogen ions in the liquid." For most purposes, the "activity" is close to the molar concentration, but in very concentrated acids, a correction factor for the molar concentration called the "activity coefficient" is needed to account for the fact that the average effect of a single mobile positive hydrogen ion is not quite as strong in a very concentrated liquid (an analogy to the economic "law of diminishing returns"). In aqueous solutions, the mobile positive hydrogen ions are generally written in chemical equations as "H+ (aq)" or "H3O+".


How do we find out the pH?

The pH is determined with a pH-meter.
