The document discusses the concept of pH, defining it as the potential of hydrogen and outlining the pH scale from 0 to 14, categorizing solutions as acidic, neutral, or basic. It details the structure and functioning of a pH meter, which measures the hydrogen-ion activity in solutions through electrodes, and emphasizes the need for calibration for accurate readings. Additionally, the document lists various applications of pH meters, including measuring pH in biological fluids, buffer solutions, rainwater, and soil.
