Answer to Question #206043 in General Chemistry for Fiona Yvonne Balia

Question

Values between 1 and 14 describes the pH scale. Mathematically, pH can be determined from the [H3O+] using the following expression:

pH= - log [H3O+].

1). What is the molarity of hydronium ions in a solution that has a pOH of 9.6?

2).what is the type of pH displayed by the solution?

3). Which of the following equation describe the pH as a measure of acidity?

a. a-Solvent = - log [solvent]

b. a-Solute = -log [solute]

c. p-solute = -log [solute]

d. p-solvent = - log [solvent]

Answer 1

$OH^-=log(-9.6)=2.51×10^{-10}m$

Alkaline PH

p-solvent = - log [solvent]
