Water constantly ionizes into H⁺ and OH⁻, and at 25 °C the product of their concentrations is fixed at Kw = 10⁻¹⁴. Taking logarithms turns that product into a sum: pH + pOH = 14 (the precise value is 13.995). The relation holds for every aqueous solution — but only at 25 °C, since Kw grows with temperature; near boiling, neutral water has a pH close to 6.1.

pH and pOH Relation
pH+pOH=14\mathrm{pH} + \mathrm{pOH} = 14
Where
  • pH\mathrm{pH}= pH
  • pOH\mathrm{pOH}= pOH
