Primes¶
- Logarithmic Perception and Encoding
- The pH scale is the same move in chemistry: hydrogen-ion activity spans many orders of magnitude, pH is its negative logarithm, and the misreading-as-linear hazard the prime warns of is acute — a pH-4 solution is not "twice as acidic" as pH-2 but a hundred times less acidic
This sourceDefines pH as the negative base-10 logarithm of hydrogen-ion activity, so a one-unit pH change is a tenfold change in [H+] and a pH-4 solution is one hundred times less acidic than pH-2.
