The pH scale is a way of expressing the strength of acids and bases The pH scale is a way of expressing the strength of acids and bases. Instead of using very small numbers, we just use the NEGATIVE power of 10 on the Molarity of the H+ (or OH-) ion. Under 7 = acid 7 = neutral Over 7 = base

(Remember that the [ ] mean Molarity) Calculating the pH pH = - log [H+] (Remember that the [ ] mean Molarity) Example: If [H+] = 1 X 10-10 pH = - log 1 X 10-10 pH = - (- 10) pH = 10 Example: If [H+] = 1.8 X 10-5 pH = - log 1.8 X 10-5 pH = - (- 4.74) pH = 4.74

pH calculations – Solving for H+ If the pH of Coke is 3.12, [H+] = ??? Because pH = - log [H+] then - pH = log [H+] Take antilog (10x) of both sides and get 10-pH = [H+] [H+] = 10-3.12 = 7.6 x 10-4 M *** to find antilog on your calculator, look for “Shift” or “2nd function” and then the log button

pH calculations – Solving for H+ A solution has a pH of 8.5. What is the Molarity of hydrogen ions in the solution?

pH Calculations pH = -log[H+] 10-pH = [H+] pOH = -log[OH-] pH + pOH = 14 [H+] [OH-] = 1 x10-14 The pH scale is a concise way of describing the H3O+ concentration and the acidity or basicity of a solution • pH and H+ concentration are related as follows: pH = –log10[H+] or [H+] = 10–pH • pH of a neutral solution ([H3O+] = 1.00 x 10–7 M) is 7.00 • pH of an acidic solution is < 7, corresponding to [H3O+] > 1.00 x 10–7 • pH of a basic solution is > 7, corresponding to [H3O+] < 1.00 x 10–7 • The pH scale is logarithmic, so a pH difference of 1 between two solutions corresponds to a difference of a factor of 10 in their hydronium ion concentrations There is an analogous pOH scale to describe the hydroxide ion concentration of a solution; pOH and [OH–] are related as follows: pH = –log10[OH–] or [OH–] = 10–pOH • A neutral solution has [OH–] = 1.00 x 10–7, so the pOH of a neutral solution is 7.00 • The sum of the pH and the pOH for a neutral solution at 25ºC is 7.00 + 7.00 = 14.00 pKw = –log Kw = –log([H3O+] [OH–]) = (–log[H3O+]) + (–log[OH–]) = pH + pOH • At any temperature, pH + pOH = pKw, and at 25ºC, where Kw = 1.01 x 10–14, pH + pOH = 14.00; pH of any neutral solution is just half the value of pKw at that temperature pOH pOH = -log[OH-] [OH-] 10-pOH = [OH-]
