A respirometer measures the rate of oxygen consumption or carbon dioxide production by living organisms. It typically consists of a chamber where the organism is placed, connected to a tube containing a substance that absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. By measuring the change in volume of gases in the tube over time, the respirometer can calculate the metabolic rate of the organism.
A respirometer measures the rate of respiration or gas exchange in organisms, while a spirometer measures lung functions, such as lung volume and capacity. Respirometers are often used in biological studies, while spirometers are commonly used in clinical settings to evaluate lung health and diagnose respiratory conditions.
No, pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. pOH would measure hydroxide concentration.
Concentration of hydrogen (or hydronium) ion.
how fast a substance dissolves
Both concentration and conductivity are measures of the amount of a substance present in a solution. Concentration refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, while conductivity measures the ability of a solution to conduct electricity, which is related to the presence of ions in the solution.

The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution based on the concentration of these ions.
Distinguishing between measures of quantity (such as glomerular filtration rate) and concentration (such as plasma creatinine) in renal function is crucial because quantity measures the actual amount of substance filtered by the kidneys, while concentration reflects how much of that substance is present in the blood. Quantity helps determine the overall function of the kidneys, while concentration may be influenced by factors beyond renal function, such as hydration status or muscle mass. Evaluating both measures provides a more comprehensive assessment of renal function.
The amount of a substance dissolved in a liquid
pH meter has an electrode sensitive to hydrogen ions (H+). It measures the concentration of these ions in a solution to determine its pH level.
The scale that chemists use to describe the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is know as the pH Scale
