17.3 A common way to express acidity is with pHA common way to express acidity is with pH
pH = -log [HpH = -log [H33OO++] ] = -log [H= -log [H++]]In a neutral solution, In a neutral solution,
[H[H3OO++] = [OH] = [OH--] = 1.00 x 10] = 1.00 x 10-7-7 at 25 at 25 ooCC
pH = -log (1.00 x 10pH = -log (1.00 x 10-7-7) ) = - (-7) = 7= - (-7) = 7

Other pX ScalesOther pX ScalesIn generalIn general pX = -log XpX = -log X
and so and so pOH = - log [OHpOH = - log [OH--]] KKww = [H = [H3OO++] [OH] [OH--] = 1.00 x 10] = 1.00 x 10-14-14 at 25 at 25 ooCC
Take the log of both sidesTake the log of both sides
-log (10-log (10-14-14) = - log [H) = - log [H3OO++] + (-log [OH] + (-log [OH--])])
pKpKww = 14 = pH + pOH = 14 = pH + pOH
