pH of Salts
pH of Salts
The pH Scale:
If we have two acidic solutions, then which is more acidic. Similar is the case with basic solutions. This problem is solved by using a scale known as the pH scale introduced by S P Sorensen in 1909. pH of a solution indicates which solution is more acidic or more basic than the other. The acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a solution is usually expressed in terms of a function of the H+ ion concentration. This function is called the pH of a solution. The pH of an aqueous solution is the negative logarithm of its H+ ion concentration.
Some Facts:
and
denote the concentrations of
and
ions respectively. The concentrations of
and
ions in aqueous solutions are usually very small numbers and therefore difficult to work with. Since pH is the negative logarithm of
, we get positive numbers and the inconvenience of dealing with small numbers is eliminated. It should be noted here that pH is only a number, because we can take the logarithm of a number and not of a unit. Therefore, pH of a solution is a dimensionless quantity.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

Eshan Arora
8thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
