Measuring the Amount of H+ and OH− Ions in a Solution

• _____ Scale- measures the _____________ of [H+] ions in a solution

• _____ Scale- measures the concentration of [ ____ ] ions in a solution

Formulas

pH = − (log [H+]) pOH = −(log [OH−])

[H+] = 10−pH [OH−] = 10−pOH

[H+] x [OH−] = 1 x 10−14 pH + pOH = 14

• With the pH scale, we have another way to define acids and bases:

Acids have a pH _________7.0

Bases have a pH _________7.0

Neutral pH ___7.0

Practice Problems:

1) a) Calculate the pH of a 0.001 M HCl solution

b) What is the pOH of this solution?

c) What is the concentration of [OH−] ions in the solution?

2) a) Calculate the pOH of a NaOH solution that has a pH of 8.50

b) What is the [OH−] of this solution?

c) What is the concentration of [H+] ions in the solution?

[H+] = 0.001 M So…pH = − (log 0.001 M) pH = 3

pH + pOH = 14 So…14 − 3 = pOH pOH = 11

[OH−] = 10−pOH [OH−] = 10−11 Molar or 1 x 10−11 M

So…14 − 8.5 = pOHpH + pOH = 14

[OH−] = 10−5.5 Molar or 3.16 x 10−6 M[OH−] = 10−pOH

[H+] = 10−pH [H+] = 10−8.5 Molar or 3.16 x 10−9 M

pOH = 5.5
