Kyle is using a 5.8 × 10-4 M NaOH solution in a titration experiment. What is the pH of the NaOH solution Kyle is using, to the nearest hundredth?

Respuesta :

Answer:

10.76

Explanation:

Kyle is using a 5.8×10⁻⁴ M NaOH solution in a titration experiment, so the pH of NaOH solution is 10.77.

How do we calculate pH?

pH of basic solution will be calculated by using the below equation as:
pH + pOH = 14

And pOH of the base will be calculated as:

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

We know that NaOH is a strong base and it completely dissociates into their ions as:
NaOH = Na⁺ + OH⁻

From the stoichiometry of the reaction it is clear that 1 mole of NaOH produces 1 moles of hydroxide ion, so the concentration of OH⁻ ion is 5.8×10⁻⁴M.

pOH for NaOH = -log(5.8×10⁻⁴) = 3.23

Now pH value will be calculated by putting the value in first equation as:
pH = 14 - 3.23 = 10.77

So, the pH of NaOH solution is 10.77.
