Considering the definition of pOH and strong base, the pOH of the aqueous solution is 1.14

The pOH (or potential OH) is a measure of the basicity or alkalinity of a solution and indicates the concentration of ion hydroxide (OH-).

pOH is expressed as the logarithm of the concentration of OH⁻ ions, with the sign changed:

pOH= - log [OH⁻]

On the other hand, a strong base is that base that in an aqueous solution completely dissociates between the cation and OH-.

LiOH is a strong base, so the concentration of the hydroxide will be equal to the concentration of OH-. This is:

[LiOH]= [OH-]= 0.073 M

Replacing in the definition of pOH:

pOH= -log (0.073 M)

In summary, the pOH of the aqueous solution is 1.14

Why is the use of inquiry process a practical way to approach science?

just olya [345]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inquiry making is one of the methodical approaches to scientific investigation. Inquiry basically deals with asking question and querying a certain procedure or observation. In almost all the phases of a scientific investigation, the scientist will not cease to keep on asking questions that are connected to the observations and how this can help to further broaden the scope of the experiment. In fact, every investigation in science is an inquiry into a phenomenon and this generates series of questions that need to be satisfied.

(ii) When shale gas is burned, the hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now , we have the equation of the reaction as;

2H2S(g) + 302(g)------->2SO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

This equation shows that SO2 gas is produced in the process. Let us recall that this same SO2 gas is the anhydride of H2SO4. This means that it can dissolve in water to form H2SO4

So, when SO2 dissolve in rain droplets, then H2SO4 is formed thereby lowering the pH of rain water. This is acid rain.
