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.

 ……………………….. , …………… , …………..

is commonly used to determine the pH value.
Calculate pH value

pOH value for

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

 pH + pOH = 14

 pH = 14- pOH

 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 0.10 mol dm-3 KOH solution?

 What is the molarity of sodium hydroxide, NaOH with

pH value of 13.0?
