How do you calculate pOH?

Answer 1

Just like pH is the negative log of [H+], pOH is the negative log of the [OH-].

Answer 2

You can calculate pOH by taking the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydroxide ion concentration in a solution. The formula for pOH is pOH = -log[OH-]. If you know the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution, you can plug that value into the formula to find the pOH.

Answer 3

Do you have the concentration of hydrogen? If so you can use the equation Kw = [H+][OH-], where Kw is the constant of water (1 X 10-14), [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen, and [OH] is the concentration of hydroxide. Once you have the concentration of hydroxide figured out, use the equation pOH = -log10[OH-].

Answer 4

You can find pOH if you know the pH of a substance by remembering the pKw = 14 = pOH + pH. Also remember that by definition, the p of something equals the -log(something), in this case -log(concentration of OH- ions).

Answer 5

The quantity pOH is the inverse of pH. The sum of the two always equals exactly 14 in any given liquid. So if the pH is 3, the pOH is 11, for example.

Answer 6

pH + pOH = 14

so for example: if our pH = 5

then our pOH = 14 - 5 = 9

Answer 7

as we know the atomic no of oxygen & hydrogen are 1 & 8 respectively . therefore when the combine they need a more bond hence form a OH molecule

Answer 8

pOH is the measurement of alkalinity in a particular solution.

Answer 9

pOH=-log(OH-)

Just did it on APEX:)

Answer 10

ph+14=pOH ph+14=pOH
