pOH

Postby 705596384 » Sun Dec 05, 2021 8:32 pm

How do we calculate the pOH of a h+ that is equal to 2.9×10 ^−11 M at 25 °C.

What I did to answer this question was use the equation pOH= 14-pH and it gave me the correct answer. If you havent calculated the pH yet, you would need to use the equation pH=-log[H+]. Just plug it into the calculator and u should get the correct answer. I hope you understand!

To calculate the pOH given that [H+] is 2.9×10 ^−11 M, you would use the concentration of [H+], you use pH=-log[H+] or in this case pH=-log[2.9×10 ^−11] to solve for pH. Then you would do 14-pH= pOH

You would first use the [H+] given to find the pH (pH=-log[H+]. Then to find pOH use the equation pOH= 14-pH

Hello,

You would first find the pH using pH= -log[H+] and then once you you get this you can just do pOH= 14-pH.

Hope this helps.

First you take the -log of the concentration of H+ to get the ph and then you do 14-ph to get POH.

To find the pOH, we can first find the pH by taking the -log base 10 of the H+ concentration. This gives us a pH of 10.54. We then subtract that from 14 to get a pOH value of 3.46.

First take the -log of the concentration of H+: 2.9x10^-11. This should equal 10.53. We know that pH+pOH=14, so plug in pH and we get 10.53+pOH=14. Therefore pOH equals 3.46. Hope this helped!

When given a H+ concentration and you want to calculate a pOH value, just find the pH and once you do that subtract it from 14 to get your pOH

Another way in addition to what others have said, is that you can use the formula 1X10^-14=[H+][OH-] to find the concentration of OH and then use -log[OH-]=pOH

First find the pH using -log([H+]). Then, subtract the pH from 14 to get the pOH
