Abstract

The negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution is known as pH, and it serves as a useful indicator of hydrogen power. The concentration of hydrogen ions is measured using a pH electrode, which determines it. One of the most basic concepts in chemistry is pH, but it also has wide applications in many other fields, including biochemistry, biology, physics, medicine, agriculture, and environmental pollution. It is particularly significant in the chemical industry, food production, environmental protection, and so on. Maintaining the pH level is crucial in quality control laboratories, as it directly influences the preparation of samples and reagents for analytical procedures. Even minor deviations in pH can significantly affect the precision and accuracy of the results after studying the different Pharmacopoeia and other literature in Scopus and PubMed-like search engines. This article thoroughly discusses the fundamental criteria for a critical instrument used in all analytical procedures, offering a detailed overview of other quantity-related necessities in analysis. This article also focuses on the applications of pH measurements.
