Question

What is the pOH of a 4.8x10^-10M H+ solution

Answer 1

pH is 9.32 based on the [H+]. we know that: 14=pH+pOH so pOH would be: pOH=4.68

Answer 2

Answer : The value of pOH of the solution is, 4.68

Explanation : Given,

Concentration of
`H^+` ion =
`4.8* 10^(-10)M`

As we know that the pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

Mathematical representation is :

`pH=-\log [H^+]`

First we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

`pH=-\log [H^+]`

`pH=-\log (4.8* 10^(-10))`

`pH=9.32`

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

`pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-9.32=4.68`

Therefore, the value of pOH of the solution is, 4.68
