Here's the details.

Explanation:

Acidity or alkalinity of a certain solution is expressed either by color(red)(pH) value or by color(blue)(pOH) value.

Now, whether the solution is acidic or alkaline in nature depends upon the concentration of hydronium color(red)([H_3O^+]) or hydroxyl color(red)([OH^-]) ions.

Now, color(red)([H_3O^+]=[H^+])

Now, color(red)(pH=-log[H_3O^+]=-log[H^+]).

&, color(blue)(pOH=-log[OH^-]).

For additional information,
pH+pOH=14

Hope it Helps:)
