Best Answer

You do the inverse.

For example, let's say [H^+] of 0.00100 M is 3. ( it is 3 lol)

You're asking how to make 3 to 0.00100

Put 3 on the calculator, and press the log (inverse)

First, pH relates to concentration of hydrogen ions, and the question asks for HYDROXIDE ion concentration. So, you have to find the pOH (14 - pH), and then the formula is

[concentration OH- (Hydroxide) ions] = 10^-pOH

For example, If I had a pH of 3.0, I would find the pOH (14-3.0=11 pOH) and then plug it in to the formula. So,

[OH-] = 10^-11, or 0000000000.1 (1.0 x 10^-11)

Using this formula Kw=[H3O+]x[OH-]=10^-14.

Find the Conc. of [H3O+]

then use the next formula pH=-log10[H3O].

E.g. [OH-]=4M.

[H3O]x[4]=10^-14.

[H3O]=2.5x10^-15.

so, pH of (OH)= -log10(2.5x10^-15)

= 14.6 DONE ^_^

The pH is the negative of the logarithm (to the base 10) of the activity of hydrogen ions.

So pH = -log(activity of H+)

For example, if the activity of H+ was 0.0000001 mol per litre (as it would be in pure water at 25 0C), this is equal to 10^(-7) mol per litre.

the log of 10^(-7) is -7

and the -log of 10^(-7) is 7

so the pH is 7

the pH is the negative exponent of moles per liter. for instance a pH of 9 would be 10 to the -9 moles per liter, pH of 6 would be 10^-6 mols per liter, etc.

pH = -log[H3O+] so take the antilog of the pH

Example:

When pH = 5.0 then [H3O+] = 10-pH = 10-(5.0) = 1.0*10-5 mol/L

1.0 X 10 - 14

Is the concentration, Molarity.

- log(1.0 X 10 -14 M)

= 14 pH

========which means that H + concentration is nil.

Roughly but very cheap this can be done by pH-indicator paperstrips, more precize by using a laboratory pH meter.

How is the pH scale shifted by the use of hydrogens ions?

pH is a measure of Hydrogen concentration pH = -log10[H+], where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions. From this equation, we can see that an increase of hydrogen ions will lower the pH, and a decrease of hydrogen ions will raise the pH. =D

The concentration of hydrogen or hydroxide ions in blood plasma and cell cytoplasm is critical. These hydrogen and hydroxide ions can be combined to form water.


Does a acid or a base contain a higher concentration of hydrogen ions?

Concentration or quantity? Bases have more hydrogen.


How is the pH determined?

By the concentration of hydrogen and/or hydroxide ions. For example, water (H2O) has an equal concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Hence, it is neutral (pH 7).


How is the concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions related in aqueous solutions?

Hydrogen ions: pH under 7.Hydroxide ions: pH over 7.
