General guidance

Concept and reason

The concept used is to calculate the hydroxide ion concentration.

Fundamentals

is the measure of hydrogen ion concentration. Lower the , higher is the hydrogen ion concentration and lower is the hydroxide ion concentration.

Higher the , lower is the hydrogen ion concentration and higher is the hydroxide ion concentration.

The hydrogen ion concentration is calculated as follows:
