    If you want to learn how to calculate pH, our first pH video is here:
    www.socratica.com/lesson/calc...
    Ever wonder whether your coffee is acidic or not? How about your tap water? We’re testing the pH of 10 Common Household Liquids using a digital pH meter.
    Pure water is neutral, with a pH of 7, but most other water-based solutions are either acidic or basic. Some people are afraid of the word “acid,” thinking it means they are going to get burned. But the words “acid” and “base” merely tell you the direction a solution is moving away from neutral.
    Acids increase the concentration of H+ ions in a solution.
    Bases decrease the concentration of H+ ions in a solution.
    If you’re concerned about safety, what you really want to know is the pH.
    The pH scale runs from 0 to 14.
    Acids have a pH less than 7.
    Bases have a pH greater than 7.
    The farther you are from 7, the stronger the acid or base is.

    Thanks for this great demonstration, it was helpful. Lemon and coffee showed similar acidic nature, not all acids have same outcome to our body, please share a video on which acids are good to consume and which are not. Waiting for your response.

      Not only does the phosphoric acid play a BIG part, carbonic acid is also involved (not too much, I think a saturated solution yield a pH of about 5)

    Great video, Thank you. You are the best, I haven't seen a video this good for a long time! pH=-log[H+], (I will put it in English: the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration). Did I answer your question? Or does one need to use something like the Henderson/Hasselbach equation? [inverse log or negative log]?

    How does one calibrate one of those ph meters? I don't like using random chemicals if I plan to use the meter with foods. Anyway to force something to a very particular ph? Distill the hell out of water? Also are bases slippery because it pulls fats from our fingers?

  • @alexandrupostole7234
    @alexandrupostole7234 7 років тому +1

    The H+ concentration is the the number in the logarithm like this if im not mistaking:
    n=-log(10^-n) e.g. Soda Pop has the pH= 2,87
    2,87=-log(10^-2,87) , so the H+ concentration is 10^-2,87

    • @anarcho.pacifist
      @anarcho.pacifist 7 років тому +3

      That is correct. In general: H⁺ = 10^(-pH).

      I wouldn't eat something just because it was pH 7, no! :) Probably lots of toxic things are close to pH 7.

    Just a suggestion but if someone has, "a big gap" in their knowledge of chemistry, it might be a good idea to define what an H+ ion is. But otherwise, very cool video!

    • @Socratica
      @Socratica  7 років тому +5

      hehehe...can't teach them all of chemistry in one video! Maybe after this video, they can watch our more hard-hitting pH video with calculations - that one shows water auto-ionizing: bit.ly/1MjWY19

    • @Socratica
      @Socratica  6 місяців тому

      What an interesting question! This tester works best with a liquid sample you can immerse it in. So unlikely, unless you could scrape up some of it and put it in water to dissolve it (measure how much water so you know how dilute it is) and then take the pH?

  • @frankcrawford416
