Answer: Solution A : [tex][H_3O^+]=0.300\times 10^{-7}M[/tex]
Solution B : [tex][OH^-]=0.107\times 10^{-5}M[/tex]
Solution C : [tex][OH^-]=0.177\times 10^{-10}M[/tex]
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 and pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration.
[tex]pH=-\log[H_3O^+][/tex]
[tex]pOH=-log[OH^-}[/tex]
[tex]pH+pOH=14[/tex]
[tex][H_3O^+][OH^-]=10^{-14}[/tex]
a. Solution A: [tex][OH^-]=3.33\times 10^{-7}M[/tex]
[tex][H_3O^+]=\frac{10^{-14}}{3.33\times 10^{-7}}=0.300\times 10^{-7}M[/tex]
b. Solution B : [tex][H_3O^+]=9.33\times 10^{-9}M[/tex]
[tex][OH^-]=\frac{10^{-14}}{9.33\times 10^{-9}}=0.107\times 10^{-5}M[/tex]
c. Solution C : [tex][H_3O^+]=5.65\times 10^{-4}M[/tex]
[tex][OH^-]=\frac{10^{-14}}{5.65\times 10^{-4}}=0.177\times 10^{-10}M[/tex]
