caculate the value of of (oh-) from the given (H30+) and label the solution as acidic or basic. a. 10^-8 M ________*10_____^ M b. 10^-11 M ______*10^ M
\(\sf pH= -log [H^+]\\pOH= 14-pH\)
can you also explain to me how i would type this in a calucator
I have TI 30 calculator
\(\sf [OH^-] = 10^{-pOH}\)
not sure about your calculator.. but type "-" then "log" , enter the values from above, then say okay. that will be your pH...
i dont know how to do 10^-8 on calculator
do you know
can you take a pic of your calculator ? it's either "EXP" or "x10^n", depending on your calc.
is it -8
the anwere
yes for pH, but you are looking for OH-, so subtract the value that you get from 14
6
right
yes! that will be the pOH last step would be \(\sf 10^ 6\), this will be your OH
SO IT IS -8 *10^6 M
or 8 *10^ 6 M
nope, 10^6 is the answer already. you used pH=8 to solve pOH= 14-8 = 6 then you use pOH to solve for OH
how would i do that
can you please explain
8 *10^ 6 M
so this is the anwer then for the question right
1000000
okay i'll do it step by step for you. "calculate the value of of (oh-) from the given (H30+) " Unknown: [OH-] Known: [H+] Analysis/Steps: 1. \(\sf pH= -log [H^+]\) -> use this to calculate for the pH since [H+] is given. \(\sf pH= -log [H^+]= - log [10^{-8}]= 8\) , so remember pH = 8 2. \(\sf pOH= 14-pH\) -> use this to calculate for pOH \(\sf pOH= 14-pH= 14-8=6\), therefore pOH is 6 3. \(\sf [OH^-] = 10^{-pOH}\) use this to calculate for your unknown. \(\sf [OH^-] = 10^{-pOH}=10^{-6}\) therefore your answer will be \(\sf [OH^-] = 10^{-6}\)
now follow this steps with the second problem
\(\sf [OH^-] = 10^{-6}\ or\ 1 \times 10 ^{-6} M\)
now would it be acid or basic
if pH > 7 , the solution will be basic if pH = 7 , it will be neutral if pH < 7, it will be acidic so look at the value of the pH , we calculated and you tell me if its acidic or basic
are you sure? what's the value of our pH?
basic
PH is 8
right (: can you try doing the second one? I'll check if it's right
is it 1* 10^-3
i tried on my own
yes! glad you got it ^_^ so will it be acidic or basic?
basic as PH IS 11
RIGHT
yEp! !!
do you understand it now?
YES THANKS
no prob! :)
