About pH and pOH

pH measures hydrogen ion concentration and pOH measures hydroxide ion concentration on a logarithmic scale. Calculations use pH = minus log of hydrogen ion concentration, pOH = minus log of hydroxide ion concentration and pH plus pOH equals pKw, with separate treatment of strong and weak acids and bases.
