Mechanism Ph Scale

Click For Summary

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, ranging from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. It is based on the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution, where lower values indicate higher acidity and higher values indicate higher alkalinity. The scale is logarithmic, meaning each whole number change represents a tenfold change in acidity or alkalinity. Understanding the pH scale is crucial for various scientific fields, including chemistry, biology, and environmental science. For a detailed explanation, the Wikipedia article on pH is recommended as a comprehensive resource.

Thread 'Gold hydride - what is the significance?'

I came.across a headline and read some of the article, so I was curious. Scientists discover that gold is a 'reactive metal' by accidentally creating a new material in the lab https://www.earth.com/news/discovery-that-gold-is-reactive-metal-by-creating-gold-hydride-in-lab-experiment/ From SLAC - A SLAC team unexpectedly formed gold hydride in an experiment that could pave the way for studying materials under extreme conditions like those found inside certain planets and stars undergoing...
