Question

A sample has a pH of -0.248 (yes, it really is possible to have a negative pH). Find

the pOH, [H] and [OH].​

Answer 1

pOH= 14.248

[H+]=1.77 M

[OH-]=5.65 x10^-15M

Step-by-step explanation:

pH+pOH= 14

pOH= 14-pH

pOH=14-(-0.248)

pOH= 14.248

[H+]=10^-pH= 10^-(-0.248)=1.77 M

[OH-]=10^-pOH= 10^-14.248=5.65 x10^-15M
