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

Find if the example is correct or not and explain using CER please. Will give 5/5

ELEN [110]

The Lewis structure the student drew is incorrect. The total number of electrons in bonds and lone pairs is equal to the total number of valence electrons available, then a valid Lewis structure is produced.

The correct structure is the following:

The structure that was drawn by the student was incorrect because the total number of electrons around Oxygen were incorrect, there were 6 instead of 8, which was against the octet rule. The correct structure should have 8 electrons around each atom.

Answer:

a. There are only 5 electrons in 2p. 2p should be filled with 6 electrons prior to 3s and 3p

b. There are 8 electrons in 2p. 2p should be filled only with 6 electrons (not 8)

Explanation:

The typical electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

a. There are only 5 electrons in 2p

=> should be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2

b. There are 8 electrons in 2p

=> should be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1
