Someone please help Problems: 1. Determine the pH of the following solutions and label each answer as acid, base or neutral: a) A 4.5 x 10-3 M HBr solution. b) A 3.67 x 10-5 M KOH solution. c) What is the pH of a solution that has a [H+] concentration of 4.5 x 10-7 M? d) What is the pH of a solution that has a [H+] concentration of 0.457 M? e) What is the pH of a solution that has a [H+] concentration of 0.0056 M?

HBr is a Strong Acid, so it will completely dissociate. The ph would be -log (4.5E-3) which is 2.35

KOH, is a strong base so it completely dissociates. the ph would be -log(3.67E-5) which works out to be 4.44

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pH= -log(H+) which is H3O+ so you would plug in the number and the answer should be 6.37for the pH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Question D and E are similar to Question C. Just plug in the numbers into the formula and you should get the pH

lol whats the answer

@supersurgeom365 whats the last answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Bettymcnightt You would plug the numbers into the formula -log[H+]. D) should be 0.3400838. Use appropriate significant figures. E) should be 2.25181197. If you feel like I was helpful, you should go ahead and fan and Medal me. Hope this helped!
