Answer:

- [tex][H^+]=1x10^{-12}[/tex]

- Basic.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the concentration of hydroxyl ions, one could compute the pOH as shown below:

[tex]pOH=-log([OH^-])=pOH=-log(1x10^{-2})=2[/tex]

Then, since the pOH and the pH are related by:

[tex]pH+pOH=14[/tex]

One computes the pH:

[tex]pH=14-pOH=14-2=12[/tex]

Now, we compute the concentration of hydronium by:

[tex][H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-12}[/tex]

[tex][H^+]=1x10^{-12}[/tex]

Finally, since the pH is greater than 7 (neutral point) we conclude that the solution is basic.

Best regards.

Answer:

A. Hydrogen ion concentration, [H+] is 1x10^–12 mol/L

B. Since the pH is 12, the solution is basic.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Concentration of Hydroxide ion, [OH-] = 1x10^–2 mol/L

Concentration of Hydrogen ion, [H+] =.?

pH =..?

A. Determination of the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+] .

The hydrogen ion concentration, [H+] can be obtained as follow:

[H+] x [OH-] = 1x10^–14

[OH-] = 1x10^–2

[H+] x 1x10^–2 = 1x10^–14

Divide both side by 1x10^–2

[H+] = 1x10^–14 / 1x10^–2

[H+] = 1x10^–12 mol/L

B. Determination of the pH of the solution.

The pH of the solution can be obtained as follow:

pH = –Log [H+]

[H+] = 1x10^–12 mol/L

pH = –Log 1x10^–12

pH = 12.

Then pH of a solution ranges between 0 and 14.

A pH reading between 0 and 6 is termed an acidic solution, a pH reading of 7 is termed a neutral solution and a pH reading between 8 and 14 indicates an alkaline or a basic solution.

The higher the pH value, the more alkaline or basic the solution becomes.

Since the pH is 12, the solution is basic.
