  2. pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

    Relation between pH and pOH. Red represents the acidic region. Blue represents the basic region. pOH is sometimes used as a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions, OH −. By definition, pOH is the negative logarithm (to the base 10) of the hydroxide ion concentration (mol/L). pOH values can be derived from pH measurements and vice-versa.

  3. Henderson–Hasselbalch equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henderson–Hasselbalch...

    The Henderson–Hasselbalch equation can be used to model these equilibria. It is important to maintain this pH of 7.4 to ensure enzymes are able to work optimally. [10] Life threatening Acidosis (a low blood pH resulting in nausea, headaches, and even coma, and convulsions) is due to a lack of functioning of enzymes at a low pH. [10]

  4. Pourbaix diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pourbaix_diagram

    Pourbaix diagram of iron. [1] The Y axis corresponds to voltage potential. In electrochemistry, and more generally in solution chemistry, a Pourbaix diagram, also known as a potential/pH diagram, E H –pH diagram or a pE/pH diagram, is a plot of possible thermodynamically stable phases (i.e., at chemical equilibrium) of an aqueous electrochemical system.

  5. pH indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_indicator

    In and of themselves, pH indicators are usually weak acids or weak bases. The general reaction scheme of acidic pH indicators in aqueous solutions can be formulated as: HInd (aq) + H 2 O (l) ⇌ H 3 O + (aq) + Ind − (aq) where, "HInd" is the acidic form and "Ind −" is the conjugate base of the indicator. Vice versa for basic pH indicators ...

  6. Isoelectric point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoelectric_point

    The isoelectric point (pI, pH(I), IEP), is the pH at which a molecule carries no net electrical charge or is electrically neutral in the statistical mean. The standard nomenclature to represent the isoelectric point is pH(I). [1] However, pI is also used. [2] For brevity, this article uses pI.

  7. Weak base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_base

    With pOH obtained from the pOH formula given above, the pH of the base can then be calculated from =, where pK w = 14.00. A weak base persists in chemical equilibrium in much the same way as a weak acid does, with a base dissociation constant (K b) indicating the strength of the base. For example, when ammonia is put in water, the following ...

  8. pH meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_meter

    Beckman Model M pH Meter, 1937 [1] Beckman model 72 pH meter, 1960 781 pH/Ion Meter pH meter by Metrohm. A pH meter is a scientific instrument that measures the hydrogen-ion activity in water-based solutions, indicating its acidity or alkalinity expressed as pH. [2]

  9. Hydronium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronium

    The molar concentration of hydronium or H + ions determines a solution's pH according to pH = -log([H 3 O +]/M) where M = mol/L. The concentration of hydroxide ions analogously determines a solution's pOH. The molecules in pure water auto-dissociate into aqueous protons and hydroxide ions in the following equilibrium: H 2 O ⇌ OH − (aq) + H ...
