Question

What is the pOH of 2.5 M NaOH

Answer 1

-0.398

Step-by-step explanation:

pOH is a measure of hydroxide ion (OH-) concentration in a solution. A basic solution If a solution has pOH less than 7 then it is a basic solution and if pOH is greater than 7 then it is an acidic solution. Neutral solutions have pOH equal to 7.

`pOH=-\log \left [ OH^- \right ]`

To find pOH of 2.5 M NaOH, solve
`pOH=-\log \left [ 2.5 \right ]` = -0.398
