Calculating pH of bases
How do you calculate the pH when a problem gives you the concentration of a base?

I think you can just find the pOH, which just uses the same equation as finding the pH, and then subtract that value from 14.

Re: Calculating pH of bases
If you calculate the pOH with the OH- concentration, you can use the equation pH+pOH=14 to solve for pH. I hope this helps!
Re: Calculating pH of bases
TO find ph, take the negative log of the base concentration (pOH) then subtract that amount from 14 to give you pH.
