Answer: The number of [tex]OH^-[/tex] ions dissociated are [tex]8.57\times 10^{11}[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given:

pH = 2.07

Calculating the value of pOH by using equation, we get:

[tex]2.07+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-2.07=11.93[/tex]

To calculate hydroxide ion concentration, we use the equation to calculate pOH of the solution, which is:

[tex]pOH=-\log[OH^-][/tex]

We are given:

pOH = 11.93

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]11.93=-\log[OH^-][/tex]

[tex][OH^-]=10^{-11.93}=1.17\times 10^{-12}M[/tex]

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}[/tex]

Molarity of solution = [tex]1.17\times 10^{-12}M[/tex]

Volume of solution = 1243 mL = 1.243 L  (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]1.17\times 10^{-12}M=\frac{\text{Moles of }OH^-}{1.243L}\\\\\text{Moles of }OH^-=(1.17\times 10^{-12}mol/L\times 1.243L)=1.424\times 10^{-12}mol[/tex]

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of particles

So, [tex]1.424\times 10^{-12}mol[/tex] number of [tex]OH^-[/tex] will contain = [tex](1.424\times 10^{-12}\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=8.57\times 10^{11}[/tex] number of ions

Hence, the number of [tex]OH^-[/tex] ions dissociated are [tex]8.57\times 10^{11}[/tex]
