Answer:
pH = 10.75
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must find the molarity of [OH⁻]. With the molarity we can find the pOH = -log[OH⁻]
Using the equation:
pH = 14 - pOH
We can find the pH of the solution.
The molarity of Ca(OH)₂ is 2.8x10⁻⁴M, as there are 2 moles of OH⁻ in 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂, the molarity of [OH⁻] is 2*2.8x10⁻⁴M = 5.6x10⁻⁴M
pOH is
pOH = -log 5.6x10⁻⁴M
pOH = 3.25
pH = 14-pOH
