Chapter 16.5, Problem 10PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the given graphs, the graph that best represents the pH as a function of concentration of two bases (one monobasic and one dibasic) of same concentration has to be explained

Concept Information:

pH and pOH:

$\begin{array}{l}\text{pH}\text{=}{\text{-log[H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}\\ \text{pOH}\text{=}{\text{-log[OH}}^{-}\text{]}\end{array}$

The pOH scale is the reverse of pH scale

Monobasic base gives one hydroxide ion in solution.

Dibasic base gives two hydroxide ions in solution

To Explain: The graph that best represents the pH as a function of concentration of two bases (one monobasic and one dibasic) of same concentration
