State
pH is the negative base-ten log of hydrogen ion concentration, pOH the same for hydroxide, and at 25 °C the two sum to 14.
Show
A solution with [H3O+] = 1.0 × 10⁻³ M has pH 3.00 and, at 25 °C, pOH 11.00.
Watch for
The pH-plus-pOH-equals-14 shortcut holds only at 25 °C, inherited from Kw's own temperature dependence.
