The empirical formula for 200 grams of an organic sample which contains carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen is C3H6O
K gives 1 electron, and Br takes 1 electron.
Through manipulation of equations, we are able to obtain the equation:
![-pOH= log [ OH^{-}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-pOH%3D%20log%20%5B%20OH%5E%7B-%7D%5D%20)
Then we can transform the equation into:
![[ OH^{-}]= 10^{-pOH}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%20OH%5E%7B-%7D%5D%3D%2010%5E%7B-pOH%7D%20%20)
Then we are able to plug in the pOH and directly get [OH-]:
![[ OH^{-}] = 10^{-6.48}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%20OH%5E%7B-%7D%5D%20%3D%2010%5E%7B-6.48%7D%20)
Because each element has an exactly defined line emission spectrum, scientists are able to identify them by the color of flame they produce.
