When my thinggy shows 5, there won't be 10^-5 mol/l protons; but rather exactly enough
free protons to result in the number "5" when calculating the inverse reciproque logarithm of their overall number per liter.
"you can't gas to pH 5, because you can't easily measure pH in toluene"Are you saying that toluene cannot have a (reciproque logarithmic measured) concentration of H
+-ions per liter??
(strange, HCl is soluble in toluene, and dissociates into Cl
- and H
+ upon dissolution. And you say that there are nevertheless no protons present in gassed toluene?)
Or do you mean that you are too retarded to measure the pH while gassing at the same time, and therefore YOU can't gas until a certain pH is reached??
What does a prewetted pH strip show when toluene is dripped onto it - the pH of the small water film that it is enclosed in, maybe?
Why should someone use wet pH strips at all - since you can't measure the pH of nonpolars and simply have to gas without checking? Hm?
Show me a link to somewhere where it is said that glass probes with Ag electrodes and potassium electrolyte aren't able of measuring in other media than water, and I will believe you.
If you do drive right, car crashes are impossible.
Still thousands of people die each year in traffic accidents, inside their own cars.
Would you say that driving carefully is not needed, because crashes are impossible under certain conditions??
I fail to see the motivation behind your posts, sorry.
