pH Measurement
- pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution.
- pH measures the acidity or basicity of a solution.
Acidic Solutions
- A pH range of 0-7 indicates acidic solutions.
- The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution.
Physiological pH
- The physiological pH of body fluids is 7.4, which is slightly alkaline.
Buffer Solutions
- The purpose of a buffer solution is to resist changes in pH when an acid or base is added.
- Buffer solutions maintain a relatively constant pH despite changes in the solution.
