The pH and pOH formulas are an extremely useful set of information.
pH=-log[H+] pOH=-log [OH-] pH + pOH=14 [H+]=2nd log (-pH) [OH-]= 2nd log (-pOH) |
pH and pOH calculations allow you to get the pH, pOH, concentration of [H+] and the concentration of [OH-] by using a piece of information know.
For example, if one had a pH of 1, they could use the formulas shown on the left to help get any information that is needed. The pOH would be 13, the H+ would be 0.1 and the OH- would be 1x10^-13. |
