pH Calculator: Calculate Acidity & Alkalinity
Calculate pH from Hydrogen ion concentration [H+].
What is pH?
pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The scale typically runs from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline), with 7 being neutral (like pure water).
The pH Formula
- Formula: pH = -log[H+]
- This means pH is the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration.
- Example: If [H+] = 0.001 M (which is 10^-3), then pH = 3.
Chemistry FAQs
What is pOH?
pOH measures the concentration of Hydroxide ions [OH-]. The relationship is always: pH + pOH = 14.
