Question

Calculate the pH of the solutions: [H^+]= 1.6 x 10^-3 M

Answer 1

Answer:

A) pH = 2.8

B) pH = 5.5

C) pH = 8.9

D) pH = 13.72

Explanation:

a) [H⁺]  = 1.6 × 10⁻³ M

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log [1.6 × 10⁻³ ]

pH = 2.8

b) [H⁺]  = 3 × 10⁻⁶

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log [3 × 10⁻⁶ ]

pH = 5.5

c) [OH⁻] = 8.2 × 10⁻⁶

pOH = -log[OH]

pOH = -log[8.2 × 10⁻⁶]

pOH = 5.1

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 5.1

pH = 8.9

d) [OH⁻] = 0.53 M

pOH = -log[OH]

pOH = -log[0.53]

pOH = 0.28

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 0.28

pH = 13.72
