Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
pH = 3.50
Unknown:
concentration of [H₃0⁺] = ?
concentration of [OH⁻] = ?
Solution:
In order to find the unknown, we use some simple expressions which best explains the pH scale and the equilibrium systems of aqueous solutions.
pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺]
[H₃O⁺] = inverse log₁₀ (-pH) = =
[H₃O⁺] = 3.2 x 10⁻⁴moldm⁻³
For the [OH⁻]:
we use : pOH = -log₁₀ [OH⁻]
Recall: pOH + pH = 14
pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 3.5 = 10.5
Now we plug the value of pOH into pOH = -log₁₀ [OH⁻]
[OH⁻] =
[OH⁻] = = 3.2 x 10⁻¹¹moldm⁻³
The solution is acidic as the concentration of H₃0⁺ is more than that of the OH⁻ ions.
Answer: pH of resulting solution will be 13
Explanation:
pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
Moles of ion =
Moles of ion =
For neutralization:
1 mole of ion will react with 1 mole of
ion
0.01 mol of ion will react with =
of
ion
Thus (0.012-0.01)= 0.002 moles of are left in 20 ml or 0.02 L of solution.
Thus the pH of resulting solution will be 13
