What is the pH of a solution with a 4.60 × 10−4 M hydroxide ion concentration?

Chemistry

Answer:

The correct answer is option :10.7

Explanation:

The pOH of the solution is the negative logarithm of hydroxide ions in a solution.

pOH=-\loh[OH^-]

pOH=-\log[4.60\times 10^{-4}M]=3.33

pH+pOh=14

pH=14-pOH=14-3.33=10.67\approx 10.7

The correct answer is option :10.7

Answer:

pH

=

10.66

Explanation:

For pure water at  

25

∘

C

, the concentration of hydronium ions,  

H

3

O

+

, is equal to the concentration of hydroxide ions,  

OH

−

.

More specifically, water undergoes a self-ionization reaction that results in the formation of equal concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide anions.

At room temperature, the self-ionization constant of water is equal to

K

W

=

[

O

⋅

[

=

This means that neutral water at this temperature will have

[

]

[

=

As you know, pH and pOH are defined as

pH

=

−

log

(

[

H

3

O

+

]

)

pOH

=

−

log

(

[

OH

−

)

and have the following relationship

pH

+

pOH

=

14

In your case, the concentration of hydroxide ions is bigger than  

10

−

7

M

, which tells you that you're dealing with a basic solution and that you can expect the pH of the water to be higher than  

7

.

A pH equal to  

7

is characteristic of a neutral aqueous solution at room temperature.

So, you can use the given concentration of hydroxide ions to determine the pOH of the solution first

pOH

=

−

log

(

4.62

⋅

10

−

4

)

=

3.34

This means that the solution's pH will be

pH

=

14

−

pOH

pH

=

14

−

3.34

=

10.66

Indeed, the pH is higher than  

7

, which confirms that you're dealing with a basic solution.

A beaker is filled to the 500 mL mark with alcohol. What increase in volume (in mL) does the beaker contain when the temperature
Aliun [14]

Answer:

"1.4 mL" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

According to the question,

  • v_0=500
  • \alpha =1.12\times 10^{-4}
  • \Delta \epsilon = 25

Now,

Increase in volume will be:

⇒ \Delta V = \alpha\times v_0\times \Delta \epsilon

By putting the given values, we get

           =1.12\times 10^{-4}\times 500\times 25

           =1.12\times 10^{-4}\times 12500

           =1.4  \ mL

The density of gold is 19.32 g/mL. What is the volume, in mL, of a nugget of gold with a mass of 55.07 g?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: 2.850

Explanation:

19.32=\frac{55.07}{v}\\19.32v=55.07\\v=\frac{55.07}{19.32}=\boxed{2.850 \text{ mL}}
