Hydrogen Ion Concentration Calculator

The Hydrogen Ion Concentration Calculator converts a pH value into the molar concentration of hydrogen ions [H+], and also shows the hydroxide concentration [OH-].

Formula

[H+] = 10^(-pH); [OH-] = 10^(-(14 - pH))
  • pH is the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration.
  • At 25 °C, pH + pOH = 14.

pH 3

Inputs
  • pH: 3

[H+] = 10^-3 = 1.00 × 10^-3 mol/L, an acidic solution.

Frequently asked questions

How do you convert pH to [H+]?
Take 10 to the power of negative pH. For pH 3, [H+] = 10^-3 = 0.001 mol/L.
