To know the acidity of a
solution, we calculate the pH value. The formula for pH is given as:
pH = - log [H+] where H+ must be in Molar
We are given that H+ = 3.25 × 10-2 M
Therefore the pH is:
pH = - log [3.25 × 10-2]
pH = 1.488
Since pH is way below 7, therefore the solution
is acidic.
To find for the OH- concentration, we must
remember that the product of H+ and OH- is equivalent to 10^-14. Therefore,
[H+]*[OH-] = 10^-14
[OH-] = 10^-14 / [H+]
[OH-] = 10^-14 / 3.25 × 10-2
[OH-] = 3.08 × 10-13 M
Answers:
Acidic
[OH-] = 3.08 × 10-13 M
