pH Scale
The pH of a solution
• is used to indicate the acidity of a solution. • has values that usually range from 0 to 14.• is acidic when the values are less than 7.• is neutral with a pH of 7.• is basic when the values are greater than 7.

Testing the pH of Solutions
The pH of solutions can be determined using • a) pH meter• b) pH paper• c) indicators that have specific colors at different pH
values.

pH is the negative log of the hydronium ion concentration.pH = - log [H3O+]
Example: For a solution with [H3O+] = 1 x 10−4 M
pH = −log [1 x 10−4 M]pH = - [-4.0]pH = 4.0
Note: The number of decimal places in the pH equals the significant figures in the coefficient of [H3O+].

pOH is the negative log of the hydroxide ion concentration.pOH = - log [OH−]
Example: For a solution with [OH−] = 1 x 10−12 M
pH = −log [1 x 10−12 M]pH = - [-12.0]pH = 12.0
Note: The number of decimal places in the pOH equals the significant figures in the coefficient of [OH−].

Significant Figures in pH and pOH
When expressing log values, the number of decimalplaces in the pH or pOH is equal to the number of significant figures in the coefficient of [H3O+] or [OH−].
[H3O+] = 1 x 10-4 pH = 4.0
[H3O+] = 8.0 x 10-6 pH = 5.10
[OH−] = 1 x 10-12 pOH = 12.0
[OH−] = 2.4 x 10-8 pOH = 7.62

Find the pH of a solution with a [H3O+] of 1.0 x 10−3: STEP 1 Enter [H3O+]
Enter 1 x 10-3 by pressing 1 (EE) 3 The EE key gives an exponent of 10 and change sign (+/- key or – key)
STEP 2 Press log key and change sign - log (1 x 10−3) = -[-3]
STEP 3 Adjust figures after decimal point to equal the significant figures in the coefficient.

Calculating [H3O+] from pH
The [H3O+] can be expressed by using the pH as the negative power of 10.
[H3O+] = 1 x 10 -pH
For pH = 3.0, the [H3O+] = 1 x 10 -3 MOn a calculator
1. Enter the pH value 3.02. Change sign -3.03. Use the inverse log key (or 10x) to obtain
the [H30+]. = 1 x 10 -3 M
18
Calculating [OH−] from pOH
The [OH−] can be expressed by using the pOH as the negative power of 10.
[OH−] = 1 x 10 -pOH
For pOH = 10.0, the [OH−] = 1 x 10 -10 MOn a calculator
1. Enter the pOH value 10.02. Change sign -10.03. Use the inverse log key (or 10x) to obtain
the [OH−]. = 1 x 10 -10 M
