pH and pOH Solutions



1) What is the pH of the solution with a hydronium concentration [H3O+] 1.47 x 10-4?

     What is the pOH of this solution?

     pH = -log (1.47 x 10-4) = 3.83

      pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 3.83 = 10.17

2) What is the pOH of the solution with a hydroxyl concentration [OH-] 2.98 x 10-2?

     What is the hydronium concentration [H3O+] of this solution?

     pOH = -log (2.98 x 10-2) = 1.53

     hydronium concentration [H3O+] =      1 x 10-14     = 3.37 x 10-13
                                                               2.98 x 10-2

      OR   pH = 14- pOH = 14 - 1.53 = 12.47

    hydronium concentration [H3O+] = antilog -12.47 = 3.38 x 10-13

3) What is the hydronium concentration [H3O+] of a solution with a pH of 7.84?

     What is the hydroxyl concentration [OH-] of this solution?

     hydronium concentration [H3O+] = antilog -7.84 = 1.45 x 10-8

     hydroxyl concentration [OH-] =     1 x 10-14     = 6.90 x 10-7
                                                          1.45 x 10-8

     OR pOH = 14-pH = 14 - 7.84 = 6.16

      hydroxyl concentration [OH-] = antilog -6.16 = 6.9 x 10-7

4) What is the hydroxyl concentration [OH-] of a solution with a pH of 3.76?

     pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 3.76 = 10.24

     hydroxyl concentration [OH-] = antilog -10.24 = 5.75 x 10-11

5) What is the hydronium concentration [H3O+] of a solution with a pOH of 2.47?

     pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.47 = 11.53

     hydronium concentration [H3O+] = antilog -11.53 = 2.95 x 10-12
