What is p in pH?
pH is the scientific abbreviation for power of Hydrogen.p=power H=hydrogen. The "p" in pH comes from the notation of the probability of finding a Mole of H+ ions in a given amount of solution which is written as P(H+)=Moles of H+ per litre. Unfortunately the Probability expressed in numbers is not the ideal way to describe and compare things. The best way to do this is to have a scale and have everything fit between its extreemes. Thus the pH scale was devised where the negative log of the concentration of H+ ions gives a scale from 0 to 14. This does not mean that the definition of "p" in "pH" changed but it only says that the old name (probability of H+) is now being used to refer to the the "pH scale".

p = -log H= concentration of hydrogen in solution (H+) therefore, pH= -log [H+] or [H+] = 10-pH

What does the mean of m alkalinity and p alkalinity water?
1. M-Alkalinity (also known as Total Alkalinity) measures the amount of carbonate, bicarbonate and hydroxide present in terms of "ppm as calcium carbonate". ( M-Alkalinity measurement is based on a sulphuric acid titration using a Methyl orange indicator that goes from yellow at a pH of 4.5 to orange at pH of 4.4 at the endpoint.) 2. P-Alkalinity measures the amount of carbonate and hydroxyl alkalinity present in terms of "ppm as calcium carbonate". P-alkalinity is measured down to a pH of 8.3. The M-alkalinity is measured down to a pH of 4.3.
