What is the pH if 0.0256 g of Potassium Hydroxide are dissolved in enough water to make .212 liters of solution? (Hint: you are
solving for poH first and then finding pH)

Respuesta :

pH= 11.332

Further explanation

KOH⇒K⁺+OH⁻

KOH(MW=56,1056 g/mol)

mol KOH :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{0.0256}{56.1056}=4.56\times 10^{-4}[/tex]

molarity KOH :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{4.56\times 10^{-4}}{0.212}=2.15\times 10^{-3}[/tex]

[OH⁻]=[KOH]=2.15 x 10⁻³

pOH=-log[OH⁻]

[tex]\tt pOH=-log~2.15\times 10^{-3}\\\\pOH=3-log~2.15\\\\pOH=2.668[/tex]

pH+pOH=14

[tex]\tt pH=14-2.668=\boxed{\bold{11.332}}[/tex]
