Unit 12: Acids and Bases Section 3: Calculating [H3O+] and [OH-] from pH
Formula Manipulation • pH = -log [H3O+] • log [H3O+] = -pH • [H3O+] = antilog (-pH) • [H3O+] = 10-pH formula to find [H3O+] concentration
Sample Problems • Determine the [H3O+] concentration of an aqueous solution that has a pH of 4.0. Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral? • Since the pH is less than 7.0, the solution is acidic • [H3O+] = 10-pH [H3O+] = 10-4 1.0 x 10-4 M
Sample Problems • Determine the [H3O+] and [OH-] concentration for a solution that has a pH of 7.52. Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral? • Since pH is greater than 7.0, the solution is slightly basic • [H3O+] = 10-pH [H3O+] = 10-7.52 3.0 x 10-8M • pOH = 14 – 7.52 6.48 • [OH-] = 10-pOH [OH-] = 10-6.48 3.3 x 10-7 M
Sample Problems • Determine the [H3O+] and [OH-] concentration for a solution that has a pOH of 2.35. Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral? • Since the pOH is less than 7.0, the solution is basic • [OH-] = 10-pOH [OH-] = 10-2.35 4.5 x 10-3 M • pH = 14 – 2.35 11.65 • [H3O+] = 10-pH [H3O+] = 10-11.65 2.2 x 10-12 M
