A solution has pOH 5.9
A) What is the [OH-]?
B) What is the [H3O+]?
C) Is this acidic, alkaline, or neutral?

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

pOH = 5.9

a) [OH⁻] = ?

pOH measures the [OH⁻]

Formula

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

-Substitution

5.9 = -log[OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = antilog (-5.9)

-Result

[OH⁻] = 1.26 x 10⁻⁶ M

b) [H₃O⁺]

pH + pOH = 14

-Solve for pH

pH = 14 - pOH

-Substitution

pH = 14 - 5.9

-Result

pH = 8.1

-Calculate [H₃O⁺]

pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

-Substitution

8.1 = -log[H₃O⁺]

[H₃O⁺] = antilog(-8.1)

-Result

[H₃O⁺] = 7.9 x 10⁻⁹ M

c) This solution is alkaline because the pH is higher than 7.

hey there!

boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals atmospheric pressure. the vapor pressure of solvent molecules is decreased when a solute is added, so a higher temperature is required to increase the number of solvent molecules in the gas phase above the liquid.

at the freezing point, the vapor pressures of the solid and liquid are equal; a lower temperature is needed to reduce the number of solvent particles above the liquid.

hope this you
