pH and pOH

Postby CHEM 14B Lover » Fri Mar 15, 2019 5:07 pm

Because bronsted acids and bases don't directly affect H+ and OH- concentration, how do they affecrt pH?

Bronsted acids and bases participate in the conjugate seesaw, meaning a weak acid and base either gains or loses a H+ to become the conjugate acid/base. This results in an OH- or H30+ ion being created. These directly contribute to the pH.
