Frequently asked questions

Subtract pH from 14. A pH of 4 gives a pOH of 10.

At 25°C, the water ion product makes pH and pOH always add to 14.

It measures the hydroxide ion concentration, the basic counterpart to pH for acidity.

Yes. The 14 value is for 25°C; at other temperatures the sum shifts slightly.
