Chapter 16, Problem 16.20QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given solution, a suitable word (acid, basic, or neutral) has to be filled with it.

Concept introduction:

• $pOH$ of a solution is the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydroxide ion concentration.

  $\text{pOH}\text{=}\text{-log}\left[{\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}\right]$

• For an acidic solution $\text{pOH>}\text{7}$ and for a basic solution $\text{pOH}\text{<7}$
• Neutral solution has a $pOH$ of $7$.
