Answer: a) pH = 13.00 : basic
b)
: basic
c) pOH = 5.00 : basic
d)
: acidic
Explanation:
pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
![pH=-\log [H_3O^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D)
Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.Neutral substances have pH of 7.
a) pH = 13.00
As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.
b) ![[H_3O^+]=1.0\times 10^{-12}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%3D1.0%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-12%7D)
Putting in the values:
![pH=-\log[1.0\times 10^{-12}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5B1.0%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-12%7D%5D)

As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.
c) pOH = 5.00


As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic.
d) ![[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-9}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BOH%5E-%5D%3D1.0%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-9%7D)
Putting in the values:
![pOH=-\log[1.0\times 10^{-9}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pOH%3D-%5Clog%5B1.0%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-9%7D%5D)



As pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic.
if your serious about this question then it is 5
Answer:
the anwser isn't in the choices
Explanation:
H=MC(change of temp.)
M=mass of water=250g
C=specific heat of water = 4.186 j/g
change in temperature is 121-40= 81
H= 250x4.186x81=84766.5J
The H+ concentration that would best describe a basic solution would be the one having values less than 10^-7. The pH of a solution is related to H+ concentration by pH = -log[H+]. Therefore, as the concentration of H+ decreases the alkalinity would rise.
