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]

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 75?

pH 1 is the most acidic, as it is closest to 0 on the pH scale. Lower pH values indicate higher acidity.

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 you can test the pH of solution?

You can test the pH of a solution using pH strips, pH meters, or pH indicator solutions. With pH strips, you simply dip the strip into the solution and compare the color change to a pH color chart. pH meters provide a digital pH value by immersing the electrode into the solution. pH indicator solutions change color based on the pH of the solution, allowing for a visual estimation of pH.


How do you measure pH accurately in a solution?

To measure pH accurately in a solution, you can use a pH meter or pH strips. A pH meter provides a digital reading of the pH level, while pH strips change color based on the pH level of the solution. Simply dip the pH meter probe or pH strip into the solution and read the pH value indicated.
