pH Value

 pH is a number scale that consist of pH

between …… to ………..

 pH is used to measure the degree of acidity

or alkalinity of an aqueous solution.
Calculate pH value

pH value for
pH value for acid,
alkali,
pH = - log [H+]
pOH = - log [OH-]

 pH + pOH = 14
 Calculate pH value

 What is the molarity of nitric acid, HNO3 with pH

value of 3.0?

 What is the pOH value of 0.01 mol dm-3 KOH

solution?

 What is the pH value of 0.01 mol dm-3 KOH solution?

 What is the molarity of sodium hydroxide, NaOH

with pH value of 13.0?
