Question

What is the concentration of H+ in 0.0025 M HClO4? What is the pH of the solution? What is the OH− concentration in the solution?
Please please help!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The concentration of H+ is 0.0025 M

B. The pH is 2.6

C. The concentration of OH- is 3.98x10^-12 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced

dissociation equation of HClO4. This is illustrated below:

HClO4 —> H+ + ClO4-

A. Determination of the concentration of H+ in 0.0025 M HClO4. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of HClO4 produced 1 mole of H+.

Therefore, 0.0025 M of HClO4 will also produce 0.0025 M of H+.

The concentration of H+ is 0.0025 M

B. Determination of the pH.

The pH of the solution can be obtained as follow:

The concentration of H+, [H+]

= 0.0025 M

pH =?

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log 0.0025

pH = 2.6

C. Determination of the concentration of OH-

To obtain the concentration of OH-, we must first calculate the pOH of the solution. This is illustrated below:

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 2.6

pOH =?

pH + pOH = 14

2.6 + pOH = 14

Collect like terms

pOH = 14 - 2.6

pOH = 11.4

Now, we can calculate the concentration of the OH- as follow:

pOH = - Log [OH-]

pOH = 11.4

11.4 = - Log [OH-]

- 11.4 = log [OH-]

[OH-] = anti log (- 11.4)

[OH-] = 3.98x10^-12 M
