Answer : Option D) The pH of the solution is 8.0.
Explanation : pOH of a solution is a measure of hydroxide ion
concentration in a particular solution. It gives the measure of alkalinity of a solution. Normally, aqueous solutions at 25°C have pOH which is less than 7 are usually alkaline, when pOH is found to be greater than 7 then they are acidic and when pOH will be equal to 7 then it is neutral.
pH + pOH = 14, this relationship is used to find pH of any unknown solution with given pOH value,
Here, we known pOH is 6.0, so we get,
pH = 14 - 6 = 8.0;
Hence, the pH will be 8.0.
Enthalpy change = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature change
Mass is 25.0 (given)
Specific heat capacity is 2.108 (checked online)
Temperature change : none
So input these into the equation :
25.0 * 2.108 = 52.7
