Before you start

Collect the data points listed below and double-check their units. Keeping an organized “givens” list is one of the fastest ways to reduce math errors and impress exam graders.

  • ph
  • hydrogen ion
  • mol/L

Detailed procedure

  1. Step 1

    Select pH → [H⁺] or [H⁺] → pH.

  2. Step 2

    Enter the known value.

  3. Step 3

    Copy the converted result in either standard or scientific notation.

Teaching & troubleshooting tips

Can I input μmol/L?

Convert µmol/L to mol/L (divide by 10⁶) before entering the number so the units remain consistent.

Does it handle pOH?

This tool focuses on pH. Use 14 − pH to find pOH for aqueous solutions at 25°C.
