Answers

Answered by keshav2150

The H in pH stands for hydrogen. But, there is some controversy as to what the p represents. The Carlsberg Foundation itself says pH means "power of hydrogen". However, German chemists claim it stands for Potenz (also meaning power), whereas the French say it is their word for power, puissance.
