  2. pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

    In modern chemistry, the p stands for "the negative decimal logarithm of", and is used in the term pK a for acid dissociation constants, [11] so pH is "the negative decimal logarithm of H + ion concentration", while pOH is "the negative decimal logarithm of OH − ion concentration".

  3. Phosphate-buffered saline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate-buffered_saline

    Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a buffer solution (pH ~ 7.4) commonly used in biological research. It is a water-based salt solution containing disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride and, in some formulations, potassium chloride and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. The buffer helps to maintain a constant pH.

  4. Intracellular pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_pH

    Physiologically normal intracellular pH is most commonly between 7.0 and 7.4, though there is variability between tissues (e.g., mammalian skeletal muscle tends to have a pH i of 6.8–7.1). [4] [5] There is also pH variation across different organelles, which can span from around 4.5 to 8.0. [6] [7] pH i can be measured in a number of ...

  5. Are There Any Benefits to Drinking Alkaline Water? - AOL

    www.aol.com/benefits-drinking-alkaline-water...

    For a little chemistry class refresher, the abbreviation “pH” stands for potential hydrogen, which refers to how acidic or basic a substance is on a scale of 0 to 14. Something with a pH of 7 ...

  6. Acid dissociation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_dissociation_constant

    These calculations find application in many different areas of chemistry, biology, medicine, and geology. For example, many compounds used for medication are weak acids or bases, and a knowledge of the p K a values, together with the octanol-water partition coefficient , can be used for estimating the extent to which the compound enters the ...

  7. Acid–base homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_homeostasis

    Acid–base homeostasis is the homeostatic regulation of the pH of the body's extracellular fluid (ECF). [1] The proper balance between the acids and bases (i.e. the pH) in the ECF is crucial for the normal physiology of the body—and for cellular metabolism. [1]

  8. Acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidosis

    The use of acidosis for a low pH creates an ambiguity in its meaning. The difference is important where a patient has factors causing both acidosis and alkalosis, wherein the relative severity of both determines whether the result is a high, low, or normal pH. [citation needed] Alkalemia occurs at a pH over 7.45.

  9. 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 ...
