This lab includes a theoretical explanation of how buffers work and how they are made, including a derivation of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Students will use what they have learned to ...

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.

in 1909 S.P.L Sorenson, a Danish biochemist devised a scale known as pH to represents the H + ion concentration of an aqueous solution. The pH value of any solution is a number that simply represents ...

Acidic and alkaline solutions can conduct electricity because they have ions that are free to carry charge. Look at the formulae of these acids. They all contain H + ions.
