Calculate the hydrogen ion concentration [h+] for the aqueous solution in which [oh-] is 1 x 10^-2 mol/l. Is this solution acidic, basic, or neutral? Show your work.

Answer 1

[H⁺] = 1.0 x 10⁻¹² M.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ [H⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

[OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻² mol/L.

∴ [H⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/[OH⁻] = (10⁻¹⁴)/(1 x 10⁻² mol/L) = 1.0 x 10⁻¹² M.

∵ pH = - log[H⁺] = - log(1.0 x 10⁻¹² M) = 12.0.

∴ The solution is basic, since pH id higher than 7 and also the [OH⁻] > [H⁺].
