pH is a measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution.

pOH is a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution.

When a salt is placed into a solution (typically an aqueous solution), the cation and anion can either dissociate completely or partially, and can react with other ions in solution. If the salt pulls hydroxide ions out of solution, the solution becomes more acidic, and if the salt pulls hydronium ions out of solution, the solution will become more basic.

So, if you want to determine the "strength" of a salt, add it to water and measure the hydronium ion concentration of that solution.
