The component parts of a compound that can ever exist and still retain the chemical properties of that compound
Answer:
6.4
Explanation: pH
+
pOH
=
14
So if
pH
=
7.6
then
pOH
=
14
−
pH
=
6.4
Explanation:
Wrote this out spaced so it's more clear.
Explanation:
To calculate [H3O+] in the solution we must first find the pH from the [ OH-]
That's
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH
To calculate the pOH we use the formula
pOH = - log [OH-]
And [OH-] = 5.5 × 10^-5 M
So we have
pOH = - log 5.5 × 10^ - 5
pOH = 4.26
Since we've found the pOH we can now find the pH
That's
pH = 14 - 4.26
pH = 9.74
Now we can find the concentration of H3O+ in the solution using the formula
pH = - log H3O+
9.74 = - log H3O+
Find the antilog of both sides
<h2> H3O+ = 1.8 × 10^ - 10 M</h2>
The solution is basic since it's pH lies in the basic region.
Hope this helps you
