How to Use This Calculator
  1. Select the calculation mode: pH from [H+] concentration, pOH from [OH-], or solve from pH.
  2. Enter the known concentration (mol/L) or the known pH/pOH value.
  3. Review pH, pOH, hydrogen ion concentration, and hydroxide ion concentration.
  4. pH + pOH = 14 at 25C -- use this to quickly find the conjugate value.
  5. Use for acid-base chemistry, buffer preparation, and water quality assessment.

What each input means

Solve For
The variable to solve for.
Concentration (mol/L)
Molar concentration of H⁺ or OH⁻ ions.
pH Value
Used when solving for H⁺ from pH.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Solve For = 0, Concentration (mol/L) = 0.001, pH Value = 7 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate pH
    pH
    3 = 3
  3. Calculate pOH
    pOH
    11 = 11
  4. Calculate [H⁺]
    [H⁺] = hConc
    0.001 = 0.001
