Question

The sum of pH and pOH for any aqueous solution equals

Answer 1

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9, bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14 and neutral solutions have pH equal to 7.

`pH=-\log [H^+]`

`pOH=-\log[OH^-]`

`pH+pOH=14`

Thus the sum of pH and pOH is 14.

Answer 2

pH is a notion that expresses the concentration of hydrogen in a solution while pOH expresses the concentration of hydroxide in a solution. The sum of pH and pOH in a solution is 14.
