There is no HP scale . It's pH scale
The significance of the pH value. pH is a measure of the acidic or basic (alkaline) nature of a solution (concentration of the hydrogen ion [H+] activity in a solution determines the pH). The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, which is the most acidic, a pH of 7 is neutral, and 14 is the most alkaline .
Importance of pH
In agriculture :- by determining the pH of soil . we can find whether is acidic or basic . it help in deciding the type of fertilizers to be used and types of crops to be sown
In Biological process: By knowing pH we can adjust the medium of biological processes like fermentation, enzyme hydrolysis, sterilization etc.
In corrosion research: By measuring the pH of sea-water, the effect of alkaline sea-water on the material used for building ships and submarines is studied.
