Derive the relation pH + pOH = 14.

Derive the relationship between pH and pOH.

Derivation

Solution

Relationship between pH and pOH:

The ionic product of water is given as:

Kw = [H3O+][OH]

Now, K= 1 × 10−14 at 298 K

Thus, [H3O+][OH-] = 1 × 10−14

Taking the logarithm of both the sides, we write

log10[H3O+] + log10[OH-] = -14

-log10[H3O+] + {-log10[OH-]} = 14

Now, pH = -log10[H3O+] and pOH = -log10[OH-]

∴ pH + pOH = 14
