I have another one Please help Complete the table [H30+] [OH] pOH pH Acidic or Basic 1.0 X 10-8 1.0 X 10-6 6.00 8.00 basic 3.55 1.7 X 10-9 13.5 8.6 X 10-11

Here is a better chart

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

pH + pOH =14

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

pH = -log[H30+]

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

pOH = -log[OH-]

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Can you find pOH for the second row?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

@tntbice15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry don't understand

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Let's take it one step at a time. Can you use pH + pOH = 14 to solve for pOH in the second line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This class has me completely lost....the text doesn't even explain how to do this.....do you use the mass of each?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, not for pH and pOH.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

If you plug in the pH into the formula: 3.55 + pOH = 14

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Can you solve for pOH?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Here is some good info on the subject: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/howtosolveit/Equilibrium/Calculating_pHandpOH.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10.45? I am really lost I don't know where the numbers have come from in the first place

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I always hate when textbooks don't explain things well!

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Right! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't help I never took chemistry in High school and high school was 25 years ago

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Wow, yeah, it is tough to start back!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get 14 from?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

That's the formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Here is some info on why. http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/howtosolveit/Equilibrium/Calculating_pHandpOH.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok getting those numbers seems easy enough (at least when I have one of them) but how do I get the other parts of the graph

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

The way to relate pH and [H30+] is pH=-log[H3O+]

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Can you find [H3O+] for the second line?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Do you remember how to work with logs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not a clue

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Let me rearrange it for you to solve for [H3O+}.|dw:1406153306546:dw|
