it is equal to the negative log of H+ ions. Ph=-log[H+]
The Decibal scale for sound measurement is an example of a logarithmic scale. The Richter scale, the pH scale, the magnitude scale for stars, the multiplicative scales on a slide rule
pH + pOH =14
S=ph+2b
Acids.
Here are just a few modern uses for logarithms:The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, Richter Magnitude Scale, and pH scale are all based on logarithms.You see brightness on a logarithmic scale, so as light becomes constantly brighter, it starts having less relative affect on your vision.Musical notes are measured logarithmically, and the frets on a guitar grow closer together as the notes become higher in pitch.Engineering data is sometimes graphed on a logarithmic scale.
pH=-log(H+)
It isn't. It is how acidic or basic a substance is.
A pH of 11 is 1000x more alkaline than a pH of 8. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale. This means that in a pH scale, a change of one whole number represents a tenfold change in the pH. So a pH of 8 is 10x more alkaline than a pH of 7.
pH is measured on a logarithmic scale of 1 to 14. 1 is the most acidic, and 14 is the most alkalinic. An acidic substance has a high amount of H+ ions and an alkalinic substance has a high amount of OH- ions.
A substance is classified as an acid or a base, based on the pH of the substance. pH is the rating of a substance compared to water, which is considered neutral. Water has a pH of 7.0. A substance with a pH less than water is considered acid and higher than water is considered a base. The pH of a substance is determined by a mathematical formula that represents the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution.
the pH scale is a measurement of acidity of liquids. it ranges from a rating on 1 to 14. when it is at 1, it is very acidic and at 14 it is a strong alkali but at 7, its neutral like water. the pH scale also shows acidity by colour- at 1 it is a strong red, at 7 it is a green and at 14, it is a purple. ;)
3. pH is a negative logarithmic scale. Therefore a difference of 100 times more is translated to -log(100) = -2. Recall the formula pH = -log([H+]).
pH, technically, is unitless due to its logarithmic nature. However, some prefer to say that pH 14.0 is '14 pH units'.
The pH scale is logarithmic; the difference between two units is x10.
pH is the hydrogen or hydroxide concentration in your pool. pH is a logarithmic scale ranging from 0-14 and 7 being neutral.
If a substance has a PH of 11 then the substance is basic.
No. As the pH scale is logarithmic, a solution with a pH of 1 is 10 times more acidic than a solution with a pH of 2.
