The pH of the solution is 12.78.

Explanation:

The pOH (or potential OH) is a measure of the basicity or alkalinity of a solution. The pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of the activity of the hydroxide ions. That is, the concentration of OH- ions:

pOH= - log [OH-]

On the other side, Molarity or Molar Concentration is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume. Molarity is calculated as:

$Molarity= \frac{number of moles}{volume}$

Molarity is expressed in units: $\frac{moles}{liter}$

In this case, the solution is prepared by mixing 100 ml (equal to 0.1 L, where 1000 mL = 1 L) of Ca(OH)₂ 0.020 M with 50 ml (equal to 0.05 L) of 0.100 M NaOH. Then, Ca(OH)₂ and NaOH are strong bases, so they dissociate completely. In the case of the first hydroxide, for each mole of Ca(OH)₂,

form two moles of OH-. In the case of sodium hydroxide, for each mole of hydroxide, one mole of OH- is formed. So, taking into account the definition of molarity, the number of moles of OH- that each hydroxide contributes to the solution is calculated as:

From Ca(OH)₂: 0.1 L* 0.02 M*2 = 0.004 moles

From NaOH: 0.05 L* 0.1 M= 0.005 moles

So, the amount of total moles of OH- is the sum that each hydroxide contributes to the solution: 0.004 moles + 0.005 moles= 0.009 moles

On the other hand, volumes are additive. Then: 0.1 L + 0.05 L= 0.15 L

Replacing in the definition of molarity the number of moles and the volume:

$[OH-]=\frac{0.009 moles}{0.15 L}$

Solving:

[OH-]= 0.06 $\frac{moles}{liter}$

Replacing in the definition of pOH:

pOH= - log 0.06

pOH= 1.22

The following relationship can be established between pH and pOH:

pH + pOH= 14

Being pOH= 1.22 and replacing:

pH + 1.22= 14

pH= 14 - 1.22

pH= 12.78

The pH of the solution is 12.78.

Following are the advantages of the parametric equations: 1) they can be used to graph curves that are not functions, like the unit circle.2) the parameter can be used to represent the quantity that is useful to provide us with better information about the graph.3) it is useful to convert between rectangular equations and parametric equations.with specific reference to chemistry, parametric equations are employ for solving hydrogen and hydrogen-like ions, quantum mechanically. herein, cartesian coordinates are converted in spherical polar coordinates. the solution obtained, when plotted on spherical polar graph paper, provides visualization of atomic orbital such as s,p,d and f.
