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

If 100.0g of nitrogen is reacted with 100.0g of hydrogen, what is the excess reactant? What is the limiting reactant? Show your

N₂ : limiting reactant

H₂ : excess reactant

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of N₂ = 100 g

mass of H₂ = 100 g

Required

Limiting reactant

Excess reactant

Solution

Reaction

mol N₂(MW=28 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}=\dfrac{100}{28}=3.571$

mol H₂(MW= 2 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{100}{2}=50$

A method that can be used to find limiting reactants is to divide the number of moles of known substances by their respective coefficients, and small or exhausted reactans become a limiting reactants

From the equation, mol ratio N₂ : H₂ = 1 : 3, so :

$\tt \dfrac{3.571}{1}\div \dfrac{50}{3}=3.571\div 16.6$

N₂ becomes a limiting reactant (smaller ratio) and H₂ is the excess reactant
