Well, find the the number of moles of the ions. See if the H+ and OH- are equal. If so, it's basic because all of them turn into water. If H+ is more, then it is acidic because acids have H+ floating around. If OH- is more, it's basic because you can guess why. To find the pH, use the formula pH=-log(H+) or pH=14+log(H+)

How do i figure out if its equal or not?

wolfe8 · Answer

You use the number of moles given by the formula n=mv where m is the molarity and v is volume,
