Explanation / Answer

A)

POH = 14 - pH

= 14 - 8.53

= 5.47

we have below equation to be used:

pH = -log [H3O+]

8.53 = -log [H3O+]

log [H3O+] = -8.53

[H3O+] = 10^(-8.53)

[H3O+] = 3.0*10^-9 M

we have below equation to be used:

pOH = -log [OH-]

5.47 = -log [OH-]

log [OH-] = -5.47

[OH-] = 10^(-5.47)

[OH-] = 3.4*10^-6 M

Answers:

[H3O+] = 3.0*10^-9

[OH-] = 3.4*10^-6

B)

POH = 14 - pH

= 14 - 11.2

= 2.8

we have below equation to be used:

pH = -log [H3O+]

11.2 = -log [H3O+]

log [H3O+] = -11.2

[H3O+] = 10^(-11.2)

[H3O+] = 6.3*10^-12 M

we have below equation to be used:

pOH = -log [OH-]

2.8 = -log [OH-]

log [OH-] = -2.8

[OH-] = 10^(-2.8)

[OH-] = 1.6*10^-3 M

Answers:

[H+] = 6.3*10^-12

[OH-] = 1.6*10^-3

C)

POH = 14 - pH

= 14 - 2.85

= 11.15

we have below equation to be used:

pH = -log [H3O+]

2.85 = -log [H3O+]

log [H3O+] = -2.85

[H3O+] = 10^(-2.85)

[H3O+] = 1.4*10^-3 M

we have below equation to be used:

pOH = -log [OH-]

11.15 = -log [OH-]

log [OH-] = -11.15

[OH-] = 10^(-11.15)

[OH-] = 7.1*10^-12 M

Answers:

[H+] = 1.4*10^-3

[OH-] = 7.1*10^-12
