pH Scale

the term pH represents the expression “the power of Hydrogen” pH

Going bottom, more basic(alkaline), going up, more acidic

pH	scale
0	1
1	0.1
2	0.01
3	0.001

pH Formula

$pH=-\log (H^{+})$

pH Example

1. eggs with pH of 8 is _ times as alkaline as milk of magnesia pH of 10.5 eggs is more acidic $10^{-(10.5-8)}$

2. A patient with urine pH 5.7. what was hydrogen concetration? pH 5.7 = -log(-5.7) $H^{+}$ = 10^-5.7
