Answer:

  • <em>The solution that has the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is </em><u>d. pH = 12.59.</u>

Explanation:

You can solve this question using just some chemical facts:

  1. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity: the higher the pH the lower the acidity and the higher the alkalinity.
  2. The higher the concentration of hydroxide ions the lower the acidity or the higher the alkalinity of the solution, this is the higher the pH.

Hence, since you are asked to state the solution with the highest concentration of hydroxide ions, you just pick the highest pH. This is the option d, pH = 12.59.

These mathematical relations are used to find the exact concentrations of hydroxide ions:

  • pH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pOH = 14 - pH

  • pOH = - log [OH⁻] ⇒ [OH^-]=10^{-pOH}

Then, you can follow these calculations:

Solution    pH        pOH                            [OH⁻]

a.               3.21       14 - 3.21 = 10.79        antilogarithm of 10.79 = 1.6 × 10⁻¹¹

b.               7.00      14 - 7.00 = 7.00        antilogarithm of 7.00 = 10⁻⁷

c.                7.93      14 - 7.93 = 6.07        antilogarithm of 6.07 = 8.5 × 10⁻⁷

d.               12.59     14 - 12.59 = 1.41        antilogarithm of 1.41 = 0.039

e.               9.82      14 - 9.82 = 4.18        antilogarithm of 4.18 = 6.6 × 10⁻⁵

From which you see that the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is for pH = 12.59.

Sulfur oxides Carbon monoxides Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)Nitrates are responsible for the hole in the ozone layer.
svp [43]
The best answer for the question above would be the chloroflourocarbons or the CFCs. These chloroflourocarbons or CFCs are the ones responsible for the depletion of the ozone - which leads to leaving a hole in its layer. These gases eat out the ozone layer and allows harmful UV rays of the sun to come in the Earth.
