Calculating pH Of Strong Bases Flashcards
1
Q
What is Kw and it’s equation
A
Ionic product of water. Kw= [H+][OH-], H2O would be dividing by these but at any temp [H2O virtually constant
2
Q
Value for Kw
A
1 x 10^-14 mol^2dm^-6
3
Q
How to calculate pH of strong base
A
[H+]= Kw/[OH-]
Then -log[H+]= pH
4
Q
How to find pH of mixture of acid and alkali
A
Find which in excess, work out how many moles left after reaction then find concen by dividing by entire volume, then use this to find pH
