pH
Measure of the level of acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution
In chemistry, pH (/( pee-HAYCH/pee-AYCH) is a logarithmic scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of aqueous solutions. Acidic solutions (solutions with higher concentrations of hydrogen (H+) cations) are measured to have lower pH values than basic or alkaline solutions. While the origin of the symbol 'pH' can be traced back to its...
