1 pH scale

2 Water In pure water the [H+] and [OH-] must be the same because 1 ion of each is formed when it breaks apart Kw = water equilibrium constant Kw = 1 x = [H+] x [OH-]

3 Kw problems IF the [OH-] = 0.01 M what is the [H+]?
If the [H+] = M what is the [OH-]?

4 pH pH = pouvoir hydrogene (French) = power of H pH scale is from 0-14
Acids: 0-6.9 Neutral 7 Base pH = -log of [H+]

5 pH problems What is the pH of a solution with a [H+] = .000001 M?
Is this an acid or base?

6 What if you know the pH? [H+] = 10-pH If the pH is 4 what is the [H+]?
What is the [OH-]?

7 pH vs pOH pH + pOH = 14 What is the pH if the pOH is 11?
What is the pOH if the pH is 6?

8 Challenge problem If the [H+] is 0.000000001M what is the
[OH-]? pH? pOH? Is this an acid or base?
