Sagot :

The  pH refers to the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution.

What is pH?

The term pH refers to the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution. Let us now solve each question.

a) Since pH = 2.90

[H^+] = Antilog(-2.90) = 1.26 * 10^-3 M

[OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14/ 1.26 * 10^-3 = 7.9 * 10^-12 M

pOH = 14 - 2.90 = 11.1

b) Since pH = 3. 86

[H^+] = Antilog(-3.86) = 1.38 * 10^-4 M

[OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14/ 1.38 * 10^-4 = 7.2 * 10^-11 M

pOH =  14 - 3.86 = 10.14

c)Since pH = 10.81

[H^+] = Antilog(-10.81) = 1.55 * 10^-11 M

[OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14/ 1.55 * 10^-11 = 6.5 * 10^-4 M

pOH = 14 -  10.81 = 3.19

d) Since pH = 4.11

[H^+] = Antilog(-4.11) = 7.8 * 10^-5 M

[OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14/7.8 * 10^-5 = 1.3 * 10^-10M

pOH = 14 - 4.11 = 9.89

e) Since pH = 11.61

[H^+] = Antilog(-11.61) =2.45 * 10^-12 M

[OH^-] = 1 * 10^-14/2.45 * 10^-12 = 4.1 * 10^-3 M

pOH = 14 - 11.61 = 2.39
