Number of Hydrogen ions (H+) determine acidity or alkalinity 
•Number of Hydrogen ions (H+) in water = 0.0000001 mol/L 
•Logarithm of H+Concentration 
•Log (0.0000001) = log (10-7) = -7 
•Negative Logarithm of H+Concentration 
•-[Log (0.0000001)] = -log (10-7) = -(-7) = 7

Calibration of pH meter 
The measuring electrode and reference electrode, when put in a zero solution (7.0 pH buffer) provides a zero mV output. 
Factors causing differences or changes in potential 
•Contamination of the reference electrolyte solution. 
•Electrolyte evaporation/depletion 
•Chemical attack of the silver/silver chloride wire. 
•Junction potential. 
•Aging of the measuring electrode.
