With a pOH of 9, the resulting pH of 5 falls in the weakly acidic range, similar to natural rainwater.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does pH + pOH = 14?
- Because Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻] = 1×10⁻¹⁴ at 25 °C. Taking −log of both sides: pH + pOH = 14.
- Does this hold at other temperatures?
- No — Kw changes with temperature. At 37 °C (body temp) pH + pOH ≈ 13.6.
