About this calculator

What is the pH Calculator?

pH Calculator calculate ph from hydrogen ion concentration: ph = -log₁₀[h⁺]. It is part of Home of Calculators's Chemistry Calculators suite for molar mass, pH, stoichiometry, and chemical reactions. The calculator is designed for students, chemists, researchers, but anyone can use it. No signup, no ads, no tracking. Just accurate math, computed locally in your browser using a BigNumber-precision math engine.

Formula Reference
The Formula
pH = −log₁₀[H⁺]

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration. A pH of 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is basic.

Variables
[H⁺]Hydrogen ion concentration (mol/L)
Worked Example
[H⁺] = 0.001
Result: pH = 3.0 (acidic)

How to use the pH Calculator

  1. 1

    Determine H⁺ concentration

    Find the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.

  2. 2

    Take the negative log

    Calculate −log₁₀ of the H⁺ concentration.

  3. 3

    Interpret the result

    pH < 7 = acidic, pH = 7 = neutral, pH > 7 = basic.
