HNO3, HCl, H2SO4 and HClO4 are among the only known strong acids.
Strong and Weak Strong and Weak Acids/BasesAcids/Bases
The strength of an acid (or base) is determined by the amount of IONIZATION.

88Calculating the pH
pH = - log [H+]pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion
concentration, [H+](Remember that the [ ] mean Molarity)
Example: If [H+] = 1 X 10-10
pH = - log 1 X 10-10
pH = 10
Example: If [H+] = 1.8 X 10-5
pH = - log 1.8 X 10-5
pH = 4.74

Calculating the pOHpOH = -log [OH-]
pOH is a measure of the hydroxide ion concentration, [OH-]
• Example:
Find the pOH of a 0.1M NaOH solution
pOH = -log(0.1)
pOH = 1
• pH + pOH = 14
• Example:
Find the pOH of a solution of HCl that has a pH of 3.4.
pH = 3.4
pOH = 14 – 3.4 = 10.6

If the pH of Coke is 3.12, [HIf the pH of Coke is 3.12, [H++] = ???] = ???
Because pH = - log [HBecause pH = - log [H++] then] then
- pH = log [H- pH = log [H++]]
Take antilog (10Take antilog (10xx) of both) of both sides and get sides and get
1010-pH -pH == [H[H++]][H[H++] = 10] = 10-3.12-3.12 = 7.6 x 10 = 7.6 x 10-4-4 M M *** to find antilog on your calculator, look for “Shift” or “2*** to find antilog on your calculator, look for “Shift” or “2nd nd

• A solution has a pH of 8.5. What is the A solution has a pH of 8.5. What is the Molarity of hydrogen ions in the Molarity of hydrogen ions in the solution?solution?
pH = - log [HpH = - log [H++]]
8.5 = - log [H8.5 = - log [H++]]
-8.5 = log [H-8.5 = log [H++]]
Antilog -8.5 = antilog (log [HAntilog -8.5 = antilog (log [H++])])
1010-8.5-8.5 = [H = [H++]]
3.16 X 103.16 X 10-9-9 = [H = [H++]]
pH = - log [HpH = - log [H++]]
8.5 = - log [H8.5 = - log [H++]]
-8.5 = log [H-8.5 = log [H++]]
Antilog -8.5 = antilog (log [HAntilog -8.5 = antilog (log [H++])])
