Questions and Answers

How is the concentration of hydroxide ions ($OH^-$) determined from the equation $OH^- : N_1 V_1 = N_2 V_2$?

The concentration of $OH^-$ is calculated using the equation by substituting known values for $N_2$ and $V_2$, allowing us to solve for $N_1$.

What value is approximated for $OH^-$ after calculating $ rac{1}{20} imes(2.7)$?

The value approximated for $OH^-$ is 0.01.

Using the formula given, how do you calculate the strength of carbonate ions ($CO_3^{2-}$) in parts per million (PPM)?

The strength of $CO_3^{2-}$ is calculated as $0.05 imes 30 imes 1000 = 1500$ PPM.
