Question

The ph of a solution for which [OH]= 1.0 x 10^-4 is?

A 10
B 14
C 11
D 9
E 7

Answer 1

to find pH, use the following formula ---> pH= - log [H+]

so first we need to calculate the [H+] concentration using the OH concentration. to do this, we need to use this formula--> 1.0x10-14= [H+] X [OH-], so we solve for H+ and plug in

[H+]= 1.0X10-14/[OH-]---> 1.0 x 10-14/ 1.0 x 10-4= 1.0 x 10-10

now that we have the H+ concentration, we can solve of pH

pH= -log (1.0x10-10)= 10

answer is A
