Answer:
pH = 10.75
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must find the molarity of [OH⁻]. With the molarity we can find the pOH = -log[OH⁻]
Using the equation:
pH = 14 - pOH
We can find the pH of the solution.
The molarity of Ca(OH)₂ is 2.8x10⁻⁴M, as there are 2 moles of OH⁻ in 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂, the molarity of [OH⁻] is 2*2.8x10⁻⁴M = 5.6x10⁻⁴M
pOH is
pOH = -log 5.6x10⁻⁴M
pOH = 3.25
pH = 14-pOH
<h3>pH = 10.75</h3>
Like when you put ice in water it starts going down
It increases because the electrons are held tighter together by the higher effective nuclear charge. The electrons are held in lower energy orbitals and closer to the nucleus and more tightly bound and harder to remove from the atom.
