                      are increasingly used to gain insights into fundamental
                      processes in liquids. However, probing liquid samples with
                      ionizing radiation changes the solution chemistry under
                      observation. In this work, we show that a radiation-induced
                      decrease in pH does not necessarily correlate to an increase
                      in acidity of aqueous solutions. Thus, pH does not capture
                      the acidity under irradiation. Using kinetic modeling of
                      radiation chemistry, we introduce alternative measures of
                      acidity (radiolytic acidity π* and radiolytic ion product
                      KW*), that account for radiation-induced alterations of both
                      H+ and OH– concentration. Moreover, we demonstrate that
                      adding pH-neutral solutes such as LiCl, LiBr, or LiNO3 can
                      trigger a significant change in π*. This provides a huge
                      parameter space to tailor the acidity for in situ
                      experiments involving ionizing radiation, as present in
                      synchrotron facilities or during liquid-phase electron
                      microscopy.},
