Answer: The pH and pOH of the solution is 1 and 13 respectively and the solution is acidic in nature.
Explanation:
There are three types of solution: acidic, basic and neutral
To determine the type of solution, we look at the pH values.
We are given:
Concentration of HI = 0.100 M
1 mole of HI produces 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of iodide ions
To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:
[tex]pH=-\log[H^+][/tex]
We are given:
[tex][H^+]=0.100M[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]pH=-\log(0.100)\\\\pH=1[/tex]
To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:
pH + pOH = 14
[tex]pOH=14-1=13[/tex]
Hence, the pH and pOH of the solution is 1 and 13 respectively and the solution is acidic in nature.
