pH sig figs

[AKatukota]

How do you determine how many significant figures to write when determining pH?

[Tiffany_Chen 2K]

For your final answer (if asked for pH), you want to have the least number of sig figs for the value past the decimal point. E.g. you are given 0.015M of something and that is the least number of sig figs. Your answer would be need two sig figs past the decimal point, e.g. 3.00

pH sig figs start to count after the decimal point. So, if you have 2 sig figs in the given information for the problem, then your pH answer should have 2 sig figs AFTER the decimal point.

In pH value, only the numbers after the decimal point count as sig.figs., so you need to write as many numbers after the decimal point as there are in the number of sig.figs. in the question.

Only the numbers after the decimal matter when determining the number of significant figures to add. For example, if two sig figs are used in the question, then the answer should have two significant figures AFTER the decimal (ex: 5.41).

I believe that it is two sig figs after the decimal place because pH + pOH = 14.00. Because, the sig fig rules for addition and subtraction indicate that your result can only be as accurate as the least precise digit, there are two sig figs after the decimal point.

For the pH value only the numbers after the decimal point count as significant figures.

Numbers after the decimal point count as significant figures for pH.

does the amount of significant figures for the molar concentration determine the amount of significant figures used after the decimal place of a pH?

[Mariana Fuentes 1L]

2 significant figures from the decimal.
