Question

What is the pH solution of H30+ 7.2 x 10-9 and is it acidic, neutral or basic What is the pH solution of H30+ 4.4 x 10-11 and is it acidic, neutral or basic

Answer 1

According to the explanation given in our previous session, in this question, we have to use the pH formula again in order to find the pH of these 2 solutions:

Solution 1:

pH = -log [7.2*10^-9]

pH = 8.14, which is above 7, therefore BASIC

Solution 2:

pH = -log [4.4*10^-11]

pH = 10.36, which is above 7, therefore BASIC
