Remember studying the pH value of various substances back in school? That was – for many of us – the first ‘real science’ experiment that we were let loose with. Using little strips of litmus paper to test for acidic or alkaline reactions was sheer fun, and a ton of valuable learning!
Fancy a speedy science recap?
pH – Power & Potential
PH is the term we give to the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. As a rule, pH stands for power of hydrogen, potential for hydrogen or sometimes, power potential of hydrogen.
Acidity and alkalinity are measured on a scale of pH values. The scale is between 1 and 14, with a pH value of …
