A way of building knowledge about the world around us through observation and experimentation.
The original question is to find the pH and the pOH of 0.023 M of perchloric acid.
Answer:
pH = 1.638
pOH = 12.362
Explanation:
1- getting the pH:
pH can be calculated using the following rule:
pH = -log[H+]
Since the given solution is an acid, this means that [H+] is the same as the concentration of the solution.
This means that:
[H+] = 0.023
Substitute in the above equation to get the pH as follows:
pH = -log[0.023]
pH = 1.638
2- getting the pOH:
We know that:
pH + pOH = 14
We have calculated that pH = 1.638.
Substitute in the above equation to get the pOH as follows:
pOH + 1.638 = 14
pOH = 14 - 1.638
pOH = 12.362
Hope this helps :)
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. the number infront is how many of each element there are, they are increasing and decreasing
One way of expressing concentration is by percent. It may be on the basis of mass, mole or volume. Percent is expressed as the amount of solute per amount of the solution. For this case, we are given the percent by mass. In order to solve the amount of solute, we multiply the percent with the amount of the solution.
Mass of solute = percent by mass x mass solution
Mass of solute = 0.0350 x 2.50 x10^2 = 8.75 grams of solute
