In chemistry, pH (/piËËeÉªtÊ/) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is approximately the negative of the logarithm to base 10 of the molar concentration, measured in units of moles per liter, of hydrogen ions.
pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The level of acidity or alkalinity of a solution is expressed as a number from 1 to 14 on the pH scale. The lower the pH number, the more acidic the solution is. The higher a pH number, the more alkaline (or basic) the solution is. A pH measurement of 1 would be the most acidic, 7 neutral, and 14 the most alkaline. The pH scale is logarithmic rather than arithmetic or linear. This means that moving one unit either way on the pH scale results in a 10-fold increase in the degree of alkalinity or acidity.
