Question

If a solution has a pOH of 5.2 the pH of the solution is

Answer 1

Answer: The pH of the solution is 8.8

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

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

`pOH=-log[OH^-]`

pH+pOH=14

Putting in the values:

`pH+5.2=14`

`pH=8.8`

Thus pH of the solution is 8.8
