Formula

pH = −log₁₀[H⁺] · pH + pOH = 14 at 25 °C

Worked example

Using the values pre-filled in the calculator above:

  • I know the: pH
  • pH = 3.5

the calculator returns:

  • pH: 3.5
  • pOH: 10.5
  • [H⁺]: 3.1623e-4 mol/L
  • [OH⁻]: 3.1623e-11 mol/L

Frequently asked questions

What does a pH of 7 mean?

It is neutral at 25 °C — the hydrogen and hydroxide concentrations are equal at 10⁻⁷ mol/L.

Can pH be negative?

Yes. Very concentrated strong acids above 1 mol/L give negative pH values.
