pH Calculator

Start with pH, pOH, [H⁺], or [OH⁻] and calculate the other three using the standard dilute-water classroom relationship at 25°C.

Calculate

How to use it

Choose the quantity you know and enter its value. Concentrations are in mol/L. Read pH, pOH, and both concentrations.

Method and worked example

pH = −log₁₀[H⁺]; pOH = −log₁₀[OH⁻]. This page uses pH + pOH = 14 as a 25°C dilute-water classroom approximation.

Example

[H⁺] = 1×10⁻³ mol/L gives pH 3, pOH 11, and [OH⁻] = 1×10⁻¹¹ mol/L.

Assumptions and limitations

Concentration must be positive. pH need not be confined to 0–14 for concentrated solutions. This tool does not infer pH from bulk acid concentration, account for activity, weak-acid equilibria, buffers, temperature-dependent water ionization, or laboratory safety.
