- logarithm[10] H+ concentration (pH)

Principle: - the 'p' refers to the power of 10. - the 'H' refers to H⁺ - defined as - logarithm(10) H⁺ concentration in moles/liter - a pH of < 7 is acidic; a pH of > 7 is basic - a 10-fold increase in H⁺ concentration results in a decrease in pH of 1

Specific

exhaled breath condensate pH pH in body fluid
