Question

A solution has a 3.5*10^-3 M of OH^- .Calculate the HO3^+ and pH of this solution, Is it Acidic, Basic or neutral

Answer 1

[H3O+]= 2.88×10^-12M

pH= 11.54

Step-by-step explanation:

pOH= -log[OH] = -log[3.5*10^-3]= 2.46

pH= 14- pOH= 14-2.46= 11.54

High pH means that a solution is basic while high pOH means that a solution is acidic,

Hence the solution is basic
