No, pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. pOH would measure hydroxide concentration.
The scale that chemists use to describe the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution is know as the pH Scale
A compound that measures above 7 on the pH scale is considered basic or alkaline. Examples include sodium hydroxide, bleach, and ammonia. These substances have a pH greater than 7, indicating a higher concentration of hydroxide ions.
Buffer concentration cannot be directly measured on the pH scale. Buffer concentration is typically quantified by the molarity of the weak acid and its conjugate base in a solution. The pH scale measures the acidity or basicity of a solution based on the concentration of H+ ions. Buffers help resist changes in pH by absorbing or releasing H+ ions.
The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. It ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 considered neutral, numbers lower than 7 indicating acidity, and numbers higher than 7 indicating alkalinity.
When a base is added to water, it will dissociate, releasing hydroxide ions (OH-) into the solution. These hydroxide ions will react with water molecules to increase the concentration of OH- ions and decrease the concentration of H+ ions, resulting in an increase in pH.
Yes, if you use a little bit of math. Take 14 minus your pH and you get the negative decadic logarithm of the hydroxide concentration.
The pH scale indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. A lower pH value indicates a higher concentration of hydrogen ions, while a higher pH value indicates a lower concentration of hydrogen ions.

A solution with a pH of 9 has a greater concentration of hydroxide ions than a solution with a pH of 3. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale, with each unit representing a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration. Therefore, a solution with a pH of 9 has a concentration of hydroxide ions 1,000 times greater than a solution with a pH of 3.
A compound that measures above 7 on the pH scale is considered basic or alkaline. Examples include sodium hydroxide, bleach, and ammonia. These substances have a pH greater than 7, indicating a higher concentration of hydroxide ions.
In a solution with a pH of 4, the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) is higher than the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-). The pH scale is logarithmic, so a pH of 4 indicates that the concentration of hydrogen ions is 10^-4 moles per liter, while the concentration of hydroxide ions can be calculated using the water dissociation constant (Kw).
The pH scale measures the amount of available H+ ions. Specifically pH=-log10[H+]
Hydroxide Ions
Water is the middle of the scale, with a pH of 7.
The concentration of hydroxyl ions will increase because sodium hydroxide dissociates in water to release hydroxide ions. The excess base will increase the amount of hydroxide ions present in the solution, leading to a higher concentration of OH- ions.
In aqueous solutions, the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) are inversely related. When one ion concentration increases, the other ion concentration decreases to maintain a balance, as defined by the self-ionization of water (H2O ⇌ H+ + OH-). This relationship forms the basis of the pH scale, where a lower pH indicates higher H+ concentration and lower OH- concentration, and vice versa.
It shows the concentration of H+ ions (if pH is less than 7) or OH- ions (if pH is above 7). pH + pOH = 14
