Question

A solution has a pH of 2.5. Answer the following questions. pOH = [H]= [OH]=

Answer 1

Answer:

pOH = 11.5

[H⁺] = 0.003 M

[OH⁻] = 3 × 10⁻¹² M

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

pH = 2.5

Based on the above information

We know that

pH + pOH = 14  ⇒  pOH = 14 - pH

pOH = 14 - 2.5

pOH = 11.5

[H⁺] = 10^(-pH) = 10^(-2.5)

[H⁺] = 0.003 M

[OH⁻] = 10^(-pOH)

= 10^(-11.5)

= 3 × 10⁻¹² M

[OH⁻] = 3 × 10⁻¹² M

Hence, the above represents the answer
