Chapter 16, Problem 16.21QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of $\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]$ in a $0.0800\text{M}$ solution of $\text{Sr}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_2$ and the concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions after the addition of $0.465\text{M}$ $\text{HCl}$ to a solution of $\text{Sr}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_2$ are to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The potential of ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ions is called as $\text{pH}$. The value of $\text{pH}$ is less than $7$ for acidic solutions and greater than $7$ for basic solutions. For neutral solution the value of $\text{pH}$ is $7$.

To determine: The value of $\left[{\text{OH}}^{-}\right]$ in a $0.0800\text{M}$ solution of $\text{Sr}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_2$ and the concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions after the addition of $0.465\text{M}$ $\text{HCl}$ to a solution of $\text{Sr}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_2$.
