Concentration of what in orange juice? For example, the concentration of H+ in my orange juice is about 0.0004 moles dm-3, measured using a pH meter.

That's OK :)

Yes; a pH meter is a small device which normally uses a glass electrode with a very accurate voltmeter to work out the concentration of H+ ions in solution.

You have to use other devices/methods to work out the concentration of other stuff in orange juice though.
