Question

How are pH and pOH ?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. pOH = 14 - pH and D. pH = 14 - pOH.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we must remember that pH and pOH are referred to a measure of acidity and basicity  respectively, since pH accounts for the concentration of H⁺ and pOH for the concentration of OH⁻ in a solution. In such a way, since the maximum scale is 14, we say that the addition between the pH and pOH must be 14:

$pH+pOH=14$

Therefore, the correct answers are B. pOH = 14 - pH and D. pH = 14 - pOH since the both of them are derived from the previous definition.

Best regards.
