[OH] =   M  

Explanation / Answer

Part A -

[Sr(OH)2] = 1.3×103 M

As Sr(OH)2 is a strong base it will completely dissociate

Therefore, the hydroxide ion concentration in moles per liter, [OH-], will be twice the concentration of the Sr(OH)2.

[OH-] = 2*[Sr(OH)2]

= 2*1.3×103 M

= 2.6×103 M

Part B -

[Sr(OH)2] = 1.3×103 M

[OH-] =  2.6×103 M

pOH = - log ( 2.6×103)

= 2.58

pH = 14 - pOH

= 14 - 2.58

= 11.42

Part C -

2.260 g of LiOH in 280.0 mL of solution.

moles of LiOH = 2.260 g / 23.95 g/mol

= 0.0943

[LiOH] = 0.0943 / 0.280

= 0.336 M

As LiOH is a strong base, it will completely dissociate in the solution.

[OH-] =  0.336 M

Part D -

pH for 2.260 g of LiOH in 280.0 mL of solution.

[LiOH] = 0.336 M

[OH-] = 0.336 M

pOH = - log 0.336

= 0.473

pH = 14 - pOH

= 14 - 0.473

= 13.527
