Common mistake

Incorrect pH Calculation

Students often forget to use the correct formula for calculating pH from hydrogen ion concentration, leading to incorrect pH values.

To calculate pH, use the formula pH = -log[H⁺]. Substitute the hydrogen ion concentration into the formula, perform the calculation, and ensure to express the final answer with the correct units. For example, if [H⁺] = 0.01 mol/dm³, then pH = -log(0.01) = 2. Therefore, the pH is 2.
