Ionic product of water formula

Kw=[H+][OH−]K_w = [H^+][OH^-]

Value of KwK_w at 25°C

1.00×10−141.00 \times 10^{-14} mol² dm⁻⁶

pH of pure water at 25°C

7

Strong base dissociation behaviour

Completely dissociates in solution

[OH⁻] from 1 mol NaOH (monobasic)

1 mol OH⁻

[OH⁻] from 1 mol Ca(OH)₂ (dibasic)

2 mol OH⁻

Steps to find pH of strong base

Find [OH⁻], use KwK_w for [H⁺], calc pH = -log[H⁺]

pOH definition

−log⁡[OH−]-\log[OH^-]

pH + pOH relationship at 25°C

14

Alkaline solution characteristic

[H+]<[OH−][H^+] < [OH^-]
