4th Quarter, Week 6, LC 31: Calculate the pH from the concentration of hydrogen ion or

hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions

ACTIVITY 10

Solve the following problems. Show your solution.

1. What is the pH of 0.0235 M HCL solution?

pH = -log [H30+]
= -log [0.0235]
pH = 1.629

2. What is the pOH of 0.0235 M HCL solution?

pOH = -log [OH-]

pH = -log [0.0235]
pH = 1.629
pOH = 14 – 1.629
pOH = 12.37

3. A solution with a H+ concentration of 1.00 x 10-7 M is said to be neutral. Why?

Solving for the pH of the said H+ concentration pH = -log [1.00 x 10-7] is equal to 7 and 7 is considered
to be neutral in pH scale.
