The pH can be found from the pOH:
pOH = 11.6, pH = 2.4
The acidity of a solution is typically assessed experimentally by measurement of its pH. The pOH of a solution is not usually measured, as it is easily calculated from an experimentally determined pH value. The pH of a solution can be directly measured using a pH meter ( [link] ).
The pH of a solution may also be visually estimated using colored indicators ( [link] ).
The concentration of hydronium ion in a solution of an acid in water is greater than 1.0 10 −7 M at 25 °C. The concentration of hydroxide ion in a solution of a base in water is greater than 1.0 10 −7 M at 25 °C. The concentration of in a solution can be expressed as the pH of the solution; pH = −log The concentration of OH − can be expressed as the pOH of the solution: pOH = −log[OH − ]. In pure water, pH = 7.00 and pOH = 7.00
