Question

What is the pOH of a 0.025 M [H+] solution?

A) 0.94
B) 1.60
C) 12.40
D) 13.06

Answer 1

The answer is a because pOH is a used in lots of formula

Answer 2

Answer: C) 12.40

Step-by-step explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration.

`pH=-\log [H^+]`

`pOH=-log{OH^-}`

`pH+pOH=14`

Given:
`[H^+]=0.025 M`

`pH=-log[0.025]`

`pH=1.6`

`1.6+pOH=14`

`pOH=12.40`

Thus pOH of the solution is 12.40
