Answer:
pH = 12.2
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of lime = 0.69 g
Volume = 1535 mL (1535 / 1000 = 1.535 L)
pH of solution = ?
Solution:
First of all we will determine the molarity.
Molarity = moles of solute / volume in litter
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 0.69 g / 56.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.0123 mol
Molarity = moles of solute / volume in litter
Molarity = 0.0123 mol / 1.535 L
Molarity = 0.008 M
One mole of CaO neutralize two mole of OH⁻.
0.008 M×2 = 0.016 M
[OH⁻] = 0.016 M
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = [0.016]
pOH = 1.8
14 = pH +pOH
pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 14-1.8
pH = 12.2
