Answer
is: pH = 8,75.
c(H⁺ or H₃O⁺) = 1,659·10⁻⁹ M
= 1,659·10⁻⁹ mol/L = 0,000000001659 mol/L.
pH = -logc(H₃O⁺).
pH = -log(1,659·10⁻⁹ mol/L).
pH = 8,75.
When pH is less than seven (pH<7),
solution is acidic.
When is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is
neutral.
When pH is greater than seven (pH >
7), solution is basic (like this example).
pH of a solution is negative log of its hydrogen ion concentration. Mathematically it can be written as:
[tex]pH = - log[ H^{+}] [/tex]
For the said problem pH will be:
[tex]pH = -log [ 1.659 * 10^{-9} ] \\ pH=-(log[1.659]+log[10^{-9}]) \\ pH=-log[1.659]+9log[10] \\ pH=-0.22+9=8.78[/tex]
Thus the pH of solution will be 8.78.
[tex]pH = - log[ H^{+}] [/tex]
For the said problem pH will be:
[tex]pH = -log [ 1.659 * 10^{-9} ] \\ pH=-(log[1.659]+log[10^{-9}]) \\ pH=-log[1.659]+9log[10] \\ pH=-0.22+9=8.78[/tex]
Thus the pH of solution will be 8.78.
