Question

What is the oh−concentration and ph in each solution? (a) 0.225 m koh, (b) 0.0015 m sr(oh)2?

Answer 1

Q1)
We have been given the OH⁻ concentration, therefore we first need to find the pOH value and then the pH value.
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.225 M)
pOH = 0.65
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 0.65 = 13.35

Q2)
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.0015 M)
pOH = 2.82
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 2.82
pH = 11.18
