  2. pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

    This means that in an acidic solution, the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) can be considered equal to the concentration of the acid. Similarly, in a basic solution, the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) can be considered equal to the concentration of the base.

  3. Hydrogen ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_ion

    The concentration of hydrogen ions and pH are inversely proportional; in an aqueous solution, an increased concentration of hydrogen ions yields a low pH, and subsequently, an acidic product. By definition, an acid is an ion or molecule that can donate a proton, and when introduced to a solution it will react with water molecules (H 2 O) to ...

  4. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

    C A is the analytical concentration of the acid, C H is the analytical concentration of added hydrogen ions, β q are the cumulative association constants. K w is the constant for self-ionization of water. There are two non-linear simultaneous equations in two unknown quantities [A 3−] and [H +]. Many computer programs are available to do ...

  5. Thermodynamic activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_activity

    The prevailing view that single ion activities are unmeasurable, or perhaps even physically meaningless, has its roots in the work of Edward A. Guggenheim in the late 1920s. [8] However, chemists have not given up the idea of single ion activities. For example, pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity. By implication ...

  6. Aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution

    In an aqueous solution the hydrogen ions (H +) and hydroxide ions (OH −) are in Arrhenius balance ([H +] [OH −] = K w = 1 x 10 −14 at 298 K). Acids and bases are aqueous solutions, as part of their Arrhenius definitions. [1] An example of an Arrhenius acid is hydrogen chloride (HCl) because of its dissociation of the hydrogen ion when ...

  7. pH meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_meter

    These membranes are up to 0.4 millimeters in thickness, thicker than original designs, so as to render the probes durable. The glass has silicate chemical functionality on its surface, which provides binding sites for alkali-metal ions and hydrogen ions from the solutions. This provides an ion-exchange capacity in the range of 10 −6 to 10 − ...

  8. Solution (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_(chemistry)

    Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt in water.The salt is the solute and the water the solvent. In chemistry, a solution is defined by IUPAC as "A liquid or solid phase containing more than one substance, when for convenience one (or more) substance, which is called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, which are called solutes.

  9. Acidity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidity_function

    The hydrogen ion H + never exists on its own in a condensed phase, as it is always solvated to a certain extent. The high negative value of H 0 in SbF 5 /HSO 3 F mixtures indicates that the solvation of the hydrogen ion is much weaker in this solvent system than in water.
