The image you've uploaded is a
completed key (answer sheet) for a chemistry worksheet on
pH and pOH calculations. It contains a table with values for:
- pH
- [H₃O⁺] (hydronium ion concentration)
- pOH
- [OH⁻] (hydroxide ion concentration)
- Classification as
Acid or
Base
All the entries in the table are
already filled in, and it appears to be the
correct solution to the original problem.

✔ What This Table Represents
This table demonstrates how to convert between:
- pH and [H₃O⁺]:
$$
\text{pH} = -\log[H_3O^+], \quad [H_3O^+] = 10^{-\text{pH}}
$$
- pOH and [OH⁻]:
$$
\text{pOH} = -\log[OH^-], \quad [OH^-] = 10^{-\text{pOH}}
$$
- Relationship between pH and pOH:
$$
\text{pH} + \text{pOH} = 14 \quad (\text{at } 25^\circ \text{C})
$$
- Acid/Base classification:
- If pH < 7 →
Acid
- If pH > 7 →
Base
- If pH = 7 → Neutral
Also, from the ion product of water:
$$
[H_3O^+][OH^-] = 1.0 \times 10^{-14}
$$

🔍 Example Verification (Let’s check one row)
Take the first row:
- pH = 3.78
- [H₃O⁺] = 1.66 × 10⁻⁴ M
→ Check: $-\log(1.66 \times 10^{-4}) \approx 3.78$
✔
- pOH = 10.22
→ Check: $14 - 3.78 = 10.22$
✔
- [OH⁻] = 6.03 × 10⁻¹¹ M
→ Check: $1.0 \times 10^{-14} / (1.66 \times 10^{-4}) \approx 6.03 \times 10^{-11}$
✔
- pH < 7 →
Acid ✔
All values are consistent.

🧠 How to Solve Similar Problems (If You Were Given a Partial Table)
Suppose you had a missing value — here's how to fill it:
#### Example: Given pH = 5.00, find [H₃O⁺], pOH, [OH⁻], and classify
1. $[H_3O^+] = 10^{-5.00} = 1.0 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{M}$
2. $\text{pOH} = 14.00 - 5.00 = 9.00$
3. $[OH^-] = 10^{-9.00} = 1.0 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{M}$
4. pH < 7 →
Acid

✔ Summary
Since your image shows the
key (answer key) with all values already filled in correctly,
no further solving is needed. The table is complete and accurate.
However, if you were working on this worksheet and wanted to verify or understand how to fill it out, the principles above apply.
Would you like me to generate a
blank version of this table for practice, or walk through
how to solve any specific row step-by-step?
