    ACTIVITY ONE!

    Using the pH Equation


    Test your ability to use the pH equation by taking the short quiz on calculating pH or H+ concentration. Or you could click on the worksheet to print a copy of a set of practice problems. The answers can be found in the Teacher's section.

    WORKSHEET

    Remember the equation for calculating pH is pH = -log[H+]. Where [H+] is the concentration of Hydrogen ions measured in moles/liter. To find pH you find the opposite of log of the [H+]. This can be easily found with a scientific calculator. To find the [H+] you must change the sign of the given pH and find the inverse log of the value. Or another way of looking at it is [H+] = 10^-pH

    Now,take the quiz or try the practice problems. You must be able to use the pH equation to do
    Activity Two!
