Question

Find the ph of of 100 ml of an aqueous 0.43m baoh2 solution

Answer 1

Answer is: pH of barium hydroxide is 13.935.
Chemical dissociation of barium hydroxide in water:
Ba(OH)₂(aq) → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq).
c(Ba(OH)₂) = 0.43 M.
V(Ba(OH)₂) = 100 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0.1 L.
n(Ba(OH)₂) = 0.43 mol/L · 0.1 L.
n(Ba(OH)₂) = 0.043 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(Ba(OH)₂) : n(OH⁻) = 1 : 2.
n(OH⁻) = 0.086 mol.
c(OH⁻) = 0.86 mol/L.
pOH = -logc(OH⁻).
pOH = 0.065.
pH = 14 - 0.065 = 13.935.
