Explanation Given The concentration of the solution is 2 .5 × 10 − 9 M . A strong base completely dissociates into its ions in a solution. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base, so it completely dissociates into its respective ions. Hence, the concentration of OH − is equal to the concentration of sodium hydroxide solution. The value of pOH is calculated by the following formula, pOH = − log [ OH − ] Substitute the value of [ OH − ] in the above expression, pOH = − log [ 2 .5 × 10 − 9 M ] =8 .6 The value of pH is calculated by the formula, pH = 14 − pOH Substitute the value of pOH in the above equation, pH = 14 − pOH = 14 − 8 .6 = 5 .4 Hence, the pH of the solution is 5 .4 . Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and its pH value is approximately 14 . But the calculated value of pH in the given case is to 5
