Question

If a solution has a pOH of 8.71, what is the [H+]?

Answer 1

Answer:
`5.1* 10^(-6)M`

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.

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

`pH+pOH=14`

Putting in the values:

`pH=14-8.71=5.29`

`5.29=-log[H^+]`

`[H^+]=5.1* 10^(-6)`

Thus
`[H^+]` is
`5.1* 10^(-6)M`
