The solubility of Sr(OH)2 at 298 K is 19.23 g/L of solution. Calculate the concentrations of strontium and hydroxyl ions and the pH of the solution.
Solubility of Sr(OH)2=19.23g/L
Then, concentration of Sr(OH)2
=19.23121.63M=0.1581MSr(OH)2(aq)→Sr2+(aq)+2(OH−)(aq)∴[Sr2+]=0.1581M[OH−]=2×0.158m=0.3126m
Now,
Kw=[OH−][H+]10−140.3126=[H+]⇒[H+]=3.2×10−14∴pH=13.495(or)13.50
