The pH of a solution is 4.80. What is the concentration of hydroxide ions in this solution?
6.3 x 10-10 M
4.2 x 10-9 M
3.6 x 10-12 M
1.6 x 10-5 M
pOH = 14 - pH
pOH = 14 - 4.8
pOH = 14 - 4.8 = 9.2
pOH = - log [OH-]
-9.2 = log [OH-]
[OH-] = Anti [- 9.2]
[OH-] = 6.3 x 10-10
The hydroxide ion concentration of a solution is 1.0×10−9 M. What is the pH of this solution? State whether the given solution is acidic, basic or neutral.
