H+, OH-, pH, and pOH

Today we learned how to convert between hydrogen concentration, hydroxide concentration, pH and pOH. We were able to convert between all of these using one original given value.
This picture shows how to get from each value to the next in simple problems.



Some problems require more than one step in order to get the answer. For example, if you are given the concentration of hydronium ions and asked to find the pH, then you need to find the concentration of hydrogen ions, or the pOH first.

This site helped me practice the conversions from this lecture.
