Introduction
Acids and bases can be measured with the pH
scale which specifies the concentration of
hydrogen ions, H+, in a solution.
pH Scale
The pH scale is shown
for some common
substances.

pH Scale
As the pH scale
is logarithmic,
change in the
acidity or
basicity of a
solution of one
whole pH unit
actually
represents a
change of ten
times the
concentration of
hydrogen ions in
the solution.

pH Scale
The pH of an
acidic or basic
solution can be
calculated from
the concentration
of H+ ions in the
solution.
The pH value is
the negative
logarithm of the
H+ ion
concentration:
pH = - log [H ]

pH Scale
The
concentration of
hydrogen ions in
most aqueous
solutions is
between 110-14
M and 1 M.

pH Scale
Therefore, the
range of pH
values for these
solutions is
between 14 and
From pH =
0:
- log10 (10-14) = 14
to pH =
- log10 (1) = 0
Concentration M in moles per
liter is sometimes expressed
as mol/dm3. These are
equivalent terms.

pH Calculations Strong
Acids
A strong acid is one
that fully ionizes, or
dissociates into its
ions, in an aqueous
solution.
A strong acid is
fully dissociated
into H+ ions and
its associated
base ions (known
as its conjugate
base) in aqueous
solution.

Hydrogen Ion
Chlorine Ion
(Conjugate base)

pH Calculations Strong
Acids
The molar
concentration of
H+ will be equal
to the
concentration of
the acid.
This makes pH
calculations of
strong acids, of
known
concentration,
simple to work out.

Measuring pH
It is often necessary
to know the pH of a
solution, in order to
identify it as acidic
or basic.

Measuring pH
The most common experimental techniques
used for finding pH are:
Indicators, or
chemical
substances that
react to different
pH levels by
changing color.

Measuring pH
The most common experimental techniques
used for finding pH are:
Universal pH
indicator paper,
which changes color
with pH. A chart is used
to identify the pH range
shown by each color.
pH meter, an
instrument which
measures the pH
directly.
