(a) The pH of a solution is 6.45. Find the [H+] concentration. Please show work.
(b) A solution has a pH of 5.28, find the [H+] and [OH-] concentration. Show work, and tell me is the solution acidic or basic?
(c) If a solution has a concentration of 3.5E-6 M, what is the pH of this solution. Show work, and tell me if the solution is acidic or basic

Respuesta :

Concentration of solution having pH 6.45 is 3.55 * 10 -7 M. Concentration of solution having pH 5.28 is 1.90 * 10 -9 M and pH of the solution is 5.45.

pH of a solution is the measure of hydrogen ion concentration, which in turn is a measure of its acidity. Pure water dissociates slightly into equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH−) ions.

Concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute that has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent or solution. A concentrated solution is one that has a relatively large amount of dissolved solute. A dilute solution is one that has a relatively small amount of dissolved solute

a.   The pH of a solution is 6.45

     pH = 6.45

     pH= -log [H+]

      = [tex]10^-6.45[/tex]

    [H+] = 3.55 * 10 -7 M

b. A solution has a pH of 5.28, find the [H+] and [OH-] concentration.

    pH = 5.28

    pH= -log [H+]

    = [tex]10^-5.28[/tex]

    [H+] = 5.25 * 10 -6 M

    As [H+] [OH-} = 10-14

     [OH-] = 10-14 / [H+]

               = 10 -14 /  5.25 * 10 -6

                = 1.90 * 10 -9 M

   As pH is less than 7 the solution is acidic.

c.  If a solution has a concentration of 3.5 . 10-6 M

    here calculated pH = 5.45

    As pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic.
