Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise: Calculating pH of Solutions**
Calculate the pH of the following solutions:
a) \(1.00 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{M} \, \text{NaOH}\)
b) \(1.00 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M} \, \text{NaOH}\)
c) \(1.00 \times 10^{-1} \, \text{M} \, \text{HC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2\)
d) \(1.00 \times 10^{-1} \, \text{M} \, \text{NaC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2\)
**Instructions:**
To solve each part, consider the properties of the given compound—whether it's a strong base or weak acid/base—and use appropriate formulas to determine the pH. Use the dissociation principles and the concept of equilibrium constants when necessary.
Expert Solution

Step 1
(i) 1.00×10-10 M NaOH:
When we calculate pH, it is considered that the solution has NaOH as a given concentration in H2O.
As when the acid or base is less than 10-7 then, the solute can be considered to be very dilute. the OH- ion is contributed from H2O. Here the [] denotes the concentration.
Hence, [H+] = [OH-] = 10-7
pH = -log[H+] = 7
(ii) 1.00×10-2 M NaOH:
pkw for water is 14.
pOH = -log[OH-] = 2
pH = pkw - pOH = 14-2 = 12
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
