Here's the details.

Explanation:

Acidity or alkalinity of a certain solution is expressed either by #color(red)(pH)# value or by #color(blue)(pOH)# value.

Now, whether the solution is acidic or alkaline in nature depends upon the concentration of hydronium #color(red)([H_3O^+])# or hydroxyl #color(red)([OH^-])# ions.

Now, #color(red)([H_3O^+]=[H^+])#

Now, #color(red)(pH=-log[H_3O^+]=-log[H^+])#.

&, #color(blue)(pOH=-log[OH^-])#.

For additional information,
#pH+pOH=14#

Hope it Helps:)
