What is the relationship between [H3O+] and pH?

An increase in [H3O+] = decrease in pH

A decrease in [H3O+] = increase in pH

How would I solve for [H3O+] if I am only given pOH?

Use the route that includes pH + pOH = 14.

  1. Use the pH + pOH = 14.00 to solve for pH

  2. Take the found pH value and plug it into pH = -log [H3O+]

  3. Plug in the values and rearrange the equation

    1. Move the negative to the other side and take the log of both sides

How would I solve for [H3O+] if I am only given pOH?

Use the route that includes pOH = -log [OH-]

  1. Plug the given pOH value into pOH = -log [OH-]

  2. Isolate for [OH-]

  3. Take the found [OH-] value and plug it into [OH-][H3O+] = 1.0 × 10-14

  4. Solve for [H3O+]
