Generation

# pH and pOH Definitions **pH** = "power of hydrogen" = -log[H⁺] - A measure of hydrogen ion concentration in solution - Scale typically ranges from 0-14 **pOH** = "power of hydroxide" = -log[OH⁻] - A measure of hydroxide ion concentration in solution - Scale typically ranges from 0-14 **Relationship:** pH + pOH = 14 (at 25°C) --- ## Worked Example **Problem:** Find the pH and pOH of a solution with [H⁺] = 1.0 × 10⁻³ M **Solution:** pH = -log[H⁺] pH = -log(1.0 × 10⁻³) pH = -(-3) **pH = 3** Using the relationship: pH + pOH = 14 3 + pOH = 14 **pOH = 11** This solution is **acidic** (pH < 7).
