  PH - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though pH is generally expressed without units, it is not an arbitrary scale; the number arises from a definition based on the activity of hydrogen ions in the solution.
The pH scale is a reverse logarithmic representation of relative hydrogen proton (H+) concentration.
An indicator is used to measure the pH of a substance.

Dilute 110 mL of the NIST phosphate buffer (pH 7) to 1 L with distilled water, and measure the pH of the diluted buffer.
