This paper presents a novel method for finding the pH of a solution containing a weak polyprotic acid (or base).The new method has the following characteristics:its constraint condition is simple,namely if a term is less than 5% of the maximum term among the polynomial,its contribution can be ignored.The calculation steps are clear and normalized.The universality of the new method is good,applicable to the pH calculation for both weak polyprotic acids and weak polyprotic bases.
