Respuesta :
pH=-log[H+]
PH=-log 1.7x10E-9
pH=8.77
SINCE THEY ASK YOU FOR pOH just use the formula.
pH+pOH=14
pOH=14-pH
pOH=14-8.77
pOh=5.23
PH=-log 1.7x10E-9
pH=8.77
SINCE THEY ASK YOU FOR pOH just use the formula.
pH+pOH=14
pOH=14-pH
pOH=14-8.77
pOh=5.23
Answer : The correct option is, (B) 5.23
Explanation :
pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
Mathematically, it is represented as :
[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex]
First we have to calculate the pH.
[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex]
[tex]pH=-\log (1.7\times 10^{-9})[/tex]
[tex]pH=8.77[/tex]
Now we have to calculate the pOH.
[tex]pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-8.77=5.23[/tex]
Therefore, the pOH of the solution is, 5.23
