About this calculator

The pH of a solution measures its acidity as pH = −log₁₀[H⁺], where [H⁺] is the hydrogen-ion concentration in mol/L. This calculator converts a concentration to pH or a pH back to concentration, and also returns pOH and the hydroxide concentration using pH + pOH = 14 at 25 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pH formula?

pH is the negative base-10 logarithm of the hydrogen-ion concentration, pH = −log₁₀[H⁺]. A concentration of 1×10⁻⁷ mol/L gives a neutral pH of 7.

How are pH and pOH related?

At 25 °C, pH + pOH = 14. So a solution of pH 3 has pOH 11, and its hydroxide concentration is [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹¹ mol/L.
