We can use a variety of formulas to determine our answers here.
Our formula for pOH is -log(mol), and we can plug it in as -log(0.010). Take note that OH- is a base, not an acid.
So, the pOH of OH- is 2.
To find pH we can set up this simple equation:
pH + pOH = 14
All we need to do is subtract 2 from 14, therefore the pH is 12.
This makes sense since acids range in the pH of 1-6, and we are dealing with a base. Hope I could help!
Answer:
The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium. ... All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet, so that both atoms are considered to obey the octet rule.
