Dear student,
Use this hint in these questions:
When the [H3O+] is 10-6 M, the pH is 6. Also, the [OH-] is 10-8 M and the pOH is 8. Again, the pH and the pOH add up to 14. When the [H3O+] is 10-5 M, pH is 5, [OH-] is 10-9 M, and pOH is 9. pH + pOH = 14.
However, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. For example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7. This is more complicated. However, if you use a calculator that will handle logarithms, it is a very simple calculation. First you enter the hydronium ion concentration. You can use decimal format or scientific notation. Next push the log button. Then change the sign by pushing the +/- button. In this case we get 6.70 for the pH. The other values can be obtained in the same way.
