Formula and explanation
In aqueous solutions at 25°C, the sum of pH and pOH equals 14. pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration. Formula: pH + pOH = 14 \ (25^(°)C) where pOH = - lg [OH⁻] Applicable conditions: Applicable to dilute aqueous solutions at 25°C. This relationship is derived from the ion product of water.
