The pH scale that is widely accepted and used by scientists didn't actually exist until 1909. Before then scientists had to rely on using adjectives to describe the acidity or basicity of a substance ...

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, ranging from 0 to 14, with values below 7 representing acidity, above 7 representing alkalinity, and 7 representing neutrality.

Acid/base indicators are described and used to identify substances as acids or bases. Indicators and the pH Scale: Acid/base indicators are described and used to identify substances as acids or bases.

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American I remember learning about acids and bases (or ...

Genome-scale metabolic models represent the entirety of metabolic reactions of an organism based on the annotation of the respective genome. These models commonly allow all reactions to proceed ...

In certain molecules, the so-called photoacids, a proton can be released locally by excitation with light. There is a sudden change in the pH value in the solution—a kind of fast switch that is ...

Figure 1: Soil pH at 0.5 m depth versus annual water balance. Figure 2: Outliers from the global relationship between pH and MAP minus PET. By assuming a threshold between CaCO 3-buffered and Al(OH) 3 ...
