Question

7.00×10−3 mol of HBrare dissolved in water to make 12.0 L of solution. What is the concentration of hydroxide ions, [OH-], in this solution?.

Answer 1

to find it in the best way is
7.00×10^−3 mol of HBr / 18.0 L of solution.= 3.89 e-4 Molar HBr

3.89 e-4 Molar HBr releases 3.89 e-4 Molar H+

the pH = - log of 3.89 e-4 Molar H+

since [H+] [OH-] = 1 e-14 the Kof water

[OH-] = 1 e-14 / 3.89 e-4 = 2.57 e-11
so we concluded that
[OH-} = 2.57 X 10^-11

Answer 2

Molarity :

M = n / V

M = 7.00 x 10⁻³ / 12.0

= 0.000583 M => H+

Kw = [ H+] x [OH-]

1 x 10⁻¹⁴ = 0.000583 x [ OH-]

[ OH-] = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ / 0.000583

[OH-] = 1.71 x 10⁻¹¹

hope this helps!
