37 value for 0 is calculated by equation (II), and as 0 is found to be independent of Cp, the average value (0.3377) is inserted into equation (II), resulting in equation (III)(see Fig. 2). By measurement of p, the unknown H-ion concentration, Cp or 10 p, can now be determined.Conclusion Thus, it seems that the little p in pH originates simply as a consequence of Sørensen’s arbitrary choice of the letters p and q for the two solutions in his initial explanation of the electrometric method (Fig. 3). By choosing solution q to have the H-ion concentration 1, the unknown
