pH Calculator

Chemistry

pH Calculator is a chemistry calculator that helps you calculate pH or pOH from ion concentrations. The formula used is: pH = -log10([H+]), pOH = 14 - pH. Uses standard SI and chemistry units (mol, L, g/mol, M, Pa, K) unless otherwise stated.

Formula

pH = -log10([H+]), pOH = 14 - pH
  • pH Calculator gives you a fast estimate using your inputs and updates instantly when you change any value.
  • Formula: pH = -log10([H+]), pOH = 14 - pH
  • Input definitions: • Hydrogen ion concentration [H+] (mol/L): the numeric hydrogen ion concentration [h+] (mol/l) used in the calculation
  • Uses standard SI and chemistry units (mol, L, g/mol, M, Pa, K) unless otherwise stated.
  • Based on standard stoichiometric and thermodynamic equations. Results may vary with temperature, pressure, and substance purity.
  • Cross-check results against known standards or reference tables to confirm they are physically reasonable.
  • Practical tip: test a low, medium, and high scenario to understand sensitivity before making decisions.

Example Calculation

Inputs
  • Hydrogen ion concentration [H+] (mol/L): 0.0001

Suppose you enter: Hydrogen ion concentration [H+] (mol/L) = 0.0001. The calculator applies the formula (pH = -log10([H+]), pOH = 14 - pH) and shows all output values below. Change any input field to immediately see how the result changes.
