Question #00c91 Chemistry Acids and Bases pH 1 Answer Monzur R. Jul 18, 2017 See below Explanation: There are three possible steps for calculating the #"pH"# of a basic solution. #1)# Calculate #["OH"^-]#. For a strong base, this will be the concentration of the base. For a weak base, use #["OH"^-] = sqrt ("K"_"b" xx ["BOH"])#. #2)# Calculate #"pOH"# or #["H"^+]#. Either use #"pOH" = -log["OH"^-]# or #["H"^+] = ("K"_"w")/(["OH"^-])# #3)# Calculate #"pH"#. Either use #"pH" = 14-"pOH"# or #"pH" = -log["H"^+]# Answer link Related questions How do you determine pH from pKa? How do pH values of acids and bases differ?
