an young scientist he initially had aspirations to make his livelihood in the sphere of medicine and not in chemistry. Sørensen functioned as the manager of this compound division at the Carlsberg
Laboratory in Copenhagen 1901 to 1938. Sørensen’s most noteworthy achievement was with his invention of pH scale, which has been taken up till date to explain the acidity or alkalinity of a chemical or solution.The scientist generated the scale throughout 1909, developing 2 ways of measuring acidity of compounds.
