Question

Calculate the hydrogen-ion concentration [H+] for the aqueous solution in which [OH–] is 1 x 10–11 mol/L. Is this solution acididc, basic, or neutral? Show your work. (3 points)

Answer 1

(H+)(OH-) = Kw
kw=  1 x10^-14
OH-=  1   x10 ^-11
(H+)=  KW / OH-

concentration   of H+  = (1x10^-14) /.(1  x 10 ^-11)   =  1  x10  ^-3

Ph=  -log (H+)

PH=-log (  1  x  10  ^-3)  =  3  therefore  the    solution  is  acidic  since  the  PH   less than  7
