Answer is: the hydronium ion concentratio is 1.71×10⁻⁷ mol/dm³ and pH<6.76.
The Kw (the ionization constant of water) at 40°C is 2.94×10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ or 2.94×10⁻¹⁴ M².
Kw = [H₃O⁺] · [OH⁻].
[H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = x.
Kw = x².
x = √Kw.
x = √2.94×10⁻¹⁴ M².
x = [H₃O⁺] = 1.71×10⁻⁷ M; concentration of hydronium ion.
pH = -log[H₃O⁺].
pH = -log(1.71×10⁻⁷ M).
pH = 6.76.
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.
Answer:
1 x 10^-12 mol dm^-3
Explanation:
[H+] = 10 ^ -pH
Therefore, pH 12 = 1 x 10^-12 hydrogen ion concentration
Chloride ions Cl –(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) are discharged at the positive electrode as chlorine gas, Cl 2(g) sodium ions Na +(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) and hydroxide ions OH –(aq) (from the water) stay behind - they form sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH(aq)
