We are given that the concentration of NaOH is 0.0003 M and are asked to calculate the pH
We know that NaOH dissociates by the following reaction:
NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻
Which means that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻ ion, which is what we care about since the pH is affected only by the concentration of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions
Now that we know that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻, 0.0003M NaOH will produce 0.0003M OH⁻
Concentration of OH⁻ (also written as [OH⁻]) = 3 * 10⁻⁴
<u>pOH of the solution:</u>
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(3 * 10⁻⁴)
pOH = -0.477 + 4
pOH = 3.523
<u>pH of the solution:</u>
We know that the sum of pH and pOH of a solution is 14
pH + pOH = 14
pH + 3.523 = 14 [subtracting 3.523 from both sides]
pH = 10.477
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Anions are attracted to the positive end of a dipole, while the cations are attracted to the negative end. As the size of the dipole moment or the ionic charge increases, the vastness of the attraction also increases. This type of attraction is important for solutions of ionic substances in polar liquids.
The correct answer of the given question above would be option D. None of the above. When a solid has a low melting point, it is most likely a simple molecular substance. When it is ionic, covalent or metallic, it is already considered as a solid with a high melting point.
