1) Calculate either [H3O ] or [OH
1)
A) [OH]^- = 1.49 X 10 ^-7 M
[H3O]^+ x [OH]^- = 1 x 10^-14
[H3O]^+ = (1 x 10^-14) / [OH]^-
[H3O]^+ = (1 x 10^-14) / 1.49 X 10 ^-7
[H3O]^+ = 6.71 x 10^-8 M
-------------------------
B) [H3O]^+ = 7.81 X10^-9 M
[H3O]^+ x [OH]^- = 1 x 10^-14
[OH]^- = (1 x 10^-14) / [H3O]^+
[OH]^- = (1 x 10^-14) / (7.81 X10^-9)
[OH]^- = 1.28 x 10^-6
----------------------------------------------
C) [H3O]^+ = 0.000661 M = 6.61 x 10^-4 M
[H3O]^+ x [OH]^- = 1 x 10^-14
[OH]^- = (1 x 10^-14) / [H3O]^+
[OH]^- = (1 x 10^-14) / (6.61 x 10^-4)
[OH]^- = 1.51 x 10^-11 M
--------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
A)
pH = -log [H3O]^+
pH = -log ( 6.71 x 10^-8)
pH = 7.2
(As the pH is greater than 7, the solution is basic)
B)
pH = -log [H3O]^+
pH = -log ( 7.81 X10^-9)
pH = 8.1
(As the pH is greater than 7, the solution is basic)
C)
pH = -log [H3O]^+
pH = -log ( 6.61 x 10^-4)
pH = 3.2
(As the pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic)
Hence, solutions A and B are basic at 25 degree C
