Question

Calculate the pH of a solution in which [OH–] = 4.5 × 10–9M.


8.35


6.11


4.94


5.65 - this one is correct

Answer 1

Answer:

5.65 is the pH.

Explanation:

I am assuming that you are asking for confirmation on your answer. The answer is 5.65.

You would do:

[pOH] = -log[OH-]

          = -log[4.5*10^-9]

         equals about 8.3468

To find pH your would subtract the pOH from 14.

14-8.3468 = 5.65 << Rounded to match the answer choices.
