Part A
Calculate the concentration of an aqueous solution of Ca(OH)2 that has a pH of 11.17.
Express your answer using two significant figures.

Respuesta :

Taking into account the definition of pH and pOH, the concentration of an aqueous solution of NaOH is 3.16×10⁻³ M.

H is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance, which is defined as the negative base 10 logarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions, that is, the concentration of hydrogen ions or H₃O⁺:

pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]

Similarly, pOH is a measure of hydroxyl ions in a solution and is expressed as the logarithm of the concentration of OH⁻ ions, with the sign changed:

pOH= - log [OH⁻]

So, the following relationship can be established between pH and pOH:

pOH + pH= 14

You know that, in this case, an aqueous solution of NaOH that has a pH of 11.50. Then, pOH is calculated as:

pOH + 11.50= 14

Solving:

pOH= 14- 11.50

pOH= 2.50

Replacing this value in the definition of pOH:

2.50= - log [OH⁻]

Solving:

[OH⁻]= 10⁻² ⁵⁰

[OH⁻]= 3.16×10⁻³ M

A Strong Base is that base that in an aqueous solution completely dissociates into the cation or OH-, the concentration of the base being equal to that of the cation and OH-. Then [NaOH]= [OH-].

Finally, the concentration of an aqueous solution of NaOH is 3.16×10⁻³ M.
