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)

pOH= 1.14

In summary, the pOH of the aqueous solution is 1.14

What is the concentration of an unknown Mg(OH)2 solution if it took an average of 15.4mL of

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

0.077M

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2HCl + Mg(OH)2 —> MgCl2 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 2

The mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question.

Concentration of base Cb =...?

Volume of base (Vb) = 10mL

Concentration of acid (Ca) = 0.1M

Volume of acid (Va) = 15.4mL

Step 3:

Determination of the concentration of the base, Mg(OH)2.

The concentration of the base can be obtained as follow:

CaVa/CbVb = nA/nB

0.1 x 15.4 /Cb x 10 = 2/1

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Cb x 10 x 2 = 0.1 x 15.4

Divide both side by 10 x 2

Cb = (0.1 x 15.4) /(10 x 2)

Cb = 0.077M

Therefore, the concentration of the base, Mg(OH)2 is 0.077M
