Answer:
pOH = 1.3, pH = 12.7
Explanation:
Since NaOH is a strong base, it will completely ionize; further, since it completely ionizes, our hydroxide concentration (a product of the ionization) will be the same as the given concentration of NaOH.
NaOH -> Na⁺ + OH⁻, [OH⁻] = 5.0 x 10^-2 M
pOH is the negative log of the hydroxide concentration, so plug our hydroxide concentration in:
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log[5.0 x 10^-2 M] = 1.3
Since pH + pOH = 14, we can plug in pOH and solve for pH:
pH + 1.3 = 14
pH = 14 - 1.3 = 12.7
Thus, our pOH = 1.3 and pH = 12.7.
In chemistry, pH<span> is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is approximately the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the concentration of hydronium ions. We calculate as follows:
pH = -log [H3O+]
pH = -log[</span><span>5.45 × 10–5 M]
pH = 4.3</span>
The answer is Strontium Nitride
