Marshmallow Packet pH

[halle young 4A]

Lyndon sees his crush and panics, accidentally dropping 382.7 mg of HCl and 147.1 mg CaO into a 1L flask. After filling that last with water up to the 1L mark, what is the pH of the resulting solution?

how do we find pH given these values? did we go over this in class or is there a section in the book i might find helpful?

We went over this today in class. First, convert the miligrams of HCl into moles - this is also the number of moles of H+. Similarly, convert the miligrams of CaO into moles - this is the number of moles of OH-. Subtract the two from each other - in this case, there is more H+ than OH-. Take the -log of this value.

I don't see the answer key for the marshmallow practice problems so can someone tell me if the answer to 34 is a pH of 2.1?

I'm not sure if it's 2.1 or 2.3. CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2. There are 2 hydroxides produced for every 1 CaO. If you double the moles of OH-, the answer comes out to 2.276 vs 2.1 if you just had 1 mol OH- per 1 CaO
