Questions and Answers

Explain the relationship between pH and pOH in a solution and how they are calculated using the concentration of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions.

pH and pOH are measures of the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) in a solution, respectively. The pH is calculated using the formula pH = -log[H3O+], while the pOH is calculated using the formula pOH = -log[OH-]. The sum of pH and pOH in a solution is always 14, representing the neutral condition of water at 25°C.

How does the pH of a solution change when the concentration of hydronium ions increases?

When the concentration of hydronium ions increases, the pH of the solution decreases. This is because pH is a measure of the acidity of a solution, and a higher concentration of hydronium ions means a more acidic solution, resulting in a lower pH value.

What is the pH of a solution with a hydronium ion concentration of 1.5 x 10^-4 M?

The pH of a solution with a hydronium ion concentration of 1.5 x 10^-4 M can be calculated using the formula pH = -log(1.5 x 10^-4) = 3.82.

Study Notes

pH and pOH Relationship

  • pH and pOH are related by the equation: pH + pOH = 14
  • pH measures the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+), while pOH measures the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-)

pH Calculation

  • pH is calculated using the concentration of hydronium ions: pH = -log[H3O+]
  • When the concentration of hydronium ions increases, the pH of the solution decreases (becomes more acidic)

Example pH Calculation

  • The pH of a solution with a hydronium ion concentration of 1.5 x 10^-4 M is: pH = -log(1.5 x 10^-4) = 3.82

Concentration Formulas

Molarity

  • Molarity (M) is calculated using the formula: Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution (M = mol/L)

Molality

  • Molality (m) is calculated using the formula: Molality = moles of solute / kilograms of solvent (m = mol/kg)

Mole Fraction of Solute

  • Mole fraction of solute is calculated using the formula: X = moles of solute / total moles (X = mol_solute / mol_total)

Mass (Weight) Percent

  • Mass (weight) percent is calculated using the formula: Mass % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 100
