Hi teatea!!! The pH of a solution is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and the numerical value is defined as the negative base 10 logarithm of the molar concentration (moles/Liter) of hydrogen ions: pH = -log10[H+] then the molar concentration (moles/Liter) of hydrogen ions is: [H+] = 1 x 10^(-pH) M The pOH of a solution is a measure of the molar concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution and the numerical value is defined as the negative base 10 logarithm of the molar concentration (moles/Liter) of hydroxide ions: pOH = -log10[OH-] Then the molar concentration (moles/Liter) of hydroxide ions is: [OH-] = 1 x 10^(-pOH) M We also have the following relationship between hydronium ion molar concentration and the hydroxide ion molar concentration in water solutions: pH + pOH = 14 pH of blood = 7.3 then pOH = 14 - 7.3 = 6.7 This means: [H+] = 1 x 10^(-7.3) M = 0.0000000501187 M [OH-] = 1 x 10^(-6.7) M = 0.000000199526 M Hope this helps.
