Chapter 14, Problem 33QRT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The interconversions given below have to be done and in each case whether the solution is acidic or basic has to be estimated.

Chemistry: The Molecular Science, Chapter 14, Problem 33QRT

Concept Introduction:

The relationship between pHandpOH is given below.

  pH+pOH=14

Other relations are given below.

  pH=log[H3O+]pOH=log[OH]Kw=[H3O+][OH]=1014

If the pH of a solution is less than 7, then the solution is acidic.  If the pH of a solution is greater than 7, then the solution is basic.

Explanation of Solution

(a) pH=1.00

The relationship between pHandpOH is given below.

  pH+pOH=14

Therefore,

  pH+pOH=14pOH=14pH=141=13.

The concentration of H3O+ and OH ion can be calculated as given below.

  pH=log[H3O+][H3O+]=10pH=101=1.0×10-1M.pOH=log[OH][OH]=10pOH=1013=1.0×10-13M.

As the pH of the solution is less than 7, the solution is acidic.

(b) pH=10.5

The relationship between pHandpOH is given below.

  pH+pOH=14

Therefore,

  pH+pOH=14pOH=14pH=1410.5=3.5.

The concentration of H3O+ and OH ion can be calculated as given below.

  pH=log[H3O+][H3O+]=10pH=1010.5=3.0×10-11M.pOH=log[OH][OH]=10pOH=103.5=3.0×10-4M.

As the pH of the solution is greater than 7, the solution is basic.

(c) [H3O+]=1.8×10-4M

The pH of the solution can be calculated as given below.

  pH=log[H3O+]=log[1.8×104]=3.74.

Then,

  pH+pOH=14pOH=14pH=143.74=10.26.[OH]=10pOH=1010.26=5.5×10-11M.

As the pH of the solution is less than 7, the solution is acidic.

(d) [OH]=2.3×10-5M

The pOH of the solution can be calculated as given below.

  pOH=log[OH]=log[2.3×105]=4.64.

Then,

  pH+pOH=14pH=14pOH=144.64=9.36.[H3O+]=10pH=109.36=4.4×10-10M.

As the pH of the solution is greater than 7, the solution is basic.

Now, the complete table can be given as shown below.

pH[H3O+]M[OH]MNature
(a) 1.001.0×10-11.0×10-13Acidic
(b) 10.53.0×10-113.0×10-4Basic
(c) 3.741.8×10-45.5×10-11Acidic
(d) 4.644.4×10-102.3×10-5Acidic
