pH Calculator

Calculate pH, pOH and ion concentration.

About this tool

pH measures how acidic or basic a solution is, based on the concentration of hydrogen ions. Enter either the hydrogen ion concentration or a pH value directly, and get pH, pOH, and both ion concentrations.

Key Features

  • Calculate from [H+] concentration or pH directly
  • Also gives pOH and [OH-]
  • Covers the full 0–14 pH range

How to Use

  1. Choose whether you're entering [H+] concentration or a pH value.
  2. Enter the value.
  3. Click Calculate.

Benefits

  • Check chemistry homework on acid-base equilibrium
  • Convert between ion concentration and pH
  • Understand where a solution falls on the acid/base scale

Frequently Asked Questions

Below 7 is acidic, exactly 7 is neutral (pure water at 25\u00b0C), and above 7 is basic (alkaline). The scale runs from 0 to 14 for most common aqueous solutions.
In water at 25\u00b0C, pH + pOH always equals 14 \u2014 so a solution's pOH can always be found by subtracting its pH from 14, and vice versa.
