Why is there a big H in pH?

The "H" stands for hydrogen, just like the "OH" in pOH refers to the ion hydroxide. The first letter of all atomic symbols is capitalized. Perhaps an obvious follow-up question might be, "Why is there a small p in pH?". I would suspect this is so that people did not think the P stood for phosphorus.

What is p in pH?

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".
