What is the [H+] in a solution with pOH of 0.253? 5.58 × 10−15 M 1.79 × 10−14 M 3.21 × 10−2 M 5.58 × 10−1 M
Okay so we know that pOH + pH = 14, so if pOH is 0.253 the pH would be 13.747.
And pH = -log [H+], so [H+] = 10^(-pH) -->This is just the antillog...
so [H+] = 1.791e-14, which would make sense for the strongly basic solution (so B is the correct answer)
Hope this helps...
Answer: \(3.6\times 10^{-14}M\)
Explanation:-
First we have to calculate the pOH.
\(pOH=-\log [OH^-]\)
\(0.253=-\log[OH^-]\)
\([OH^-]=0.558M\)
Now we have to calculate the pH.
\(pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-0.558\\\\pH=13.442\)
Now we have to calculate the \(OH^-\) concentration.
\(pH=-\log [H^+]\)
\(13.442=-\log [H^+]\)
\([H^+]=3.6\times 10^{-14}M\)
Therefore, the \(H^+\) concentration is, \(3.6\times 10^{-14}M\)
