Answer 35

find [H+(aq)] [H+(aq)]= 10^-pH= 10^-3.25=5.62X10⁻⁴ moldm⁻³ calculate [OH-(aq)] from Kw and [H+(aq)] Kw= [H+(aq)][OH-(aq)]=1X10⁻¹⁴ [OH-(aq)]= Kw/ [H+(aq]=1X10⁻¹⁴/ 5.62X10⁻⁴ = 1.78X10⁻¹¹

Question 36

what is the pH of a solution with [OH-]= 4.5X10⁻³ at 25℃?

Answer 36

``` calculate pOH from [OH-(aq)] - pOH=-log[OH-(aq)]=-log(4.5X10⁻³)= 2.34 calculate pH using pH+pOH= 14 - pH=14=pOH - pH=14-2.34=11.66 ```
