Example Question #1 :Reactions And Equilibrium

A scientist makes a solution by adding 0.2 grams ofto enough water so that the resulting solution has a volume of 10 liters. What, approximately, is the pH of this solution?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

has a molar mass of approximately 40 g/mol, meaning that there is 0.01 mol of it in the solution. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and completely dissociates in water. Its concentration in the solution is. This means that the concentration ofions isand. Thus, the pH of the solution is 11.
