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 = neutralOver 7 = base : The pH scale is a way of expressing the strength of acids and bases.

pH of Common Substances : pH of Common Substances
Calculating the pH : Calculating the pH pH = - log [H+]
(Remember that the [ ] mean Molarity)
Example: If [H+] = 1 X 10-10pH = - log 1 X 10-10
pH = - (- 10)
pH = 10
Example: If [H+] = 1.8 X 10-5pH = - log 1.8 X 10-5
pH = - (- 4.74)
pH = 4.74
Try These! : Try These! Find the pH of these:
1) A 0.15 M solution of Hydrochloric acid
2) A 3.00 X 10-7 M solution of Nitric acid
pH calculations – Solving for H+ : 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+ : pH calculations – Solving for H+ A solution has a pH of 8.5. What is the Molarity of hydrogen ions in the solution? pH = - log [H+]
8.5 = - log [H+]
-8.5 = log [H+]
Antilog -8.5 = antilog (log [H+])
10-8.5 = [H+]
3.16 X 10-9 = [H+]
More About Water : More About Water H2O can function as both an ACID and a BASE.
In pure water there can be AUTOIONIZATION Equilibrium constant for water = Kw

More About Water : More About Water Kw = [H3O+] [OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14 at 25 oC
In a neutral solution [H3O+] = [OH-]
so Kw = [H3O+]2 = [OH-]2
and so [H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.00 x 10-7 M Autoionization HONORS ONLY!
pOH : pOH Since acids and bases are opposites, pH and pOH are opposites!
pOH does not really exist, but it is useful for changing bases to pH.
pOH looks at the perspective of a base
pOH = - log [OH-]
Since pH and pOH are on opposite ends,
pH + pOH = 14
Slide 33 : pH [H+] [OH-] pOH
[H3O+], [OH-] and pH : [H3O+], [OH-] and pH What is the pH of the 0.0010 M NaOH solution?
[OH-] = 0.0010 (or 1.0 X 10-3 M)
pOH = - log 0.0010
pOH = 3
pH = 14 – 3 = 11
OR Kw = [H3O+] [OH-]
[H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-11 M
pH = - log (1.0 x 10-11) = 11.00
Slide 35 : The pH of rainwater collected in a certain region of the northeastern United States on a particular day was 4.82. What is the H+ ion concentration of the rainwater?

Put a stirring rod into the solution and stir.
Take the stirring rod out, and place a drop of the solution from the end of the stirring rod onto a piece of the paper
Read and record the color change. Note what the color indicates.
You should only use a small portion of the paper. You can use one piece of paper for several tests.

pH meter : pH meter Tests the voltage of the electrolyte
Converts the voltage to pH
