An atoms atomic mass is the sum of it's proton and neutrons found in the nucleus. An atom's atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. By subtracting an element's atomic number from the atomic mass you can calculate the number of neutrons. For oxygen it would be sixteen minus eight, so oxygen has eight neutrons.

What is the classification of a solution of naoh with a ph of 8.3?

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Alkaline or basic solution (alkaline and basic means the same)

Explanation:

According to the pH, solutions may be classified as neutral, acidic, or alkaline (basic).

This table shows such classification:

pH classification

7 neutral

> 7 alkaline or basic

< 7 acidic

Thus, since the pH of the solution is 8.3, which is greater than 7, the solution is classified as basic (alkaline).

Additionally, you must learn that pH is a logarithmic scale for the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution.

pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

You can calculate the concentration of hydronium ions using antilogarithm properties:

$pH=-log[H_3O^+]\\ \\ {[H_3O^+]}=10^{-pH}\\ \\ {[H_3O^+]}=10^{-8.3}=0.00000000501$

NaOH solutions are alkaline solutions, bases, according to Arrhenius model, because they contain OH⁻ ions and release them when ionize in water.
