What is pH and pOH? pH A measure of how acidic a solution is, or more specifically, how much H+ ions are present Key Idea: The more H+ ions present, the more acidic the solution pOH A measure of how basic a solution is (how much OH- ions are present) Key Idea: The more OH- ions present, the more basic the solution

Each step on the scale is either 10 times stronger or weaker. (eg
Each step on the scale is either 10 times stronger or weaker. (eg. 3 steps on the scale = 10x10x10 = 1000 times stronger or weaker) As you get closer to pH=0, it is more acidic. If it gets closer to pH=14, it is more basic. Neutral is when the pH=7.
6
pH Strength and Weakness
How many times stronger is a solution that is pH=2 compared to a solution that is pH=6? How many times weaker is a solution that is pH=9 compared to a solution that is pH=3?
7
Calculations pH = - log[H+] [H+] = 10-pH
To find pH (or pOH): To find [H+] (or [OH-]) pH = - log[H+] [H+] = 10-pH pOH = - log[OH-] [OH-] = 10-pOH Note: pH + pOH = 14
8
What is the pH if… [H+] = mol/L? [OH-] = mol/L?
9
What is the pOH if… [OH-] = 0.25 mol/L? [H+] = mol/L?
10
Calculate [H+] if… pH = 3.4 pOH = 8.1
11
Calculate [OH-] if… pOH = 11.4 pH = 4.5
