What is the pH of a solution with a hydroxide ion concentration of 10–6M?
A. pH = 8
B. pH = 7
C. pH = 6
D. pH = 12

Respuesta :

waldo2001
[OH-] = 1 X 10^-6 M = 10^-6 M 

pOH = -log [OH-] = -log 10^-6 = 6 

and as pH + pOH = 14 

so pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 6 = 8

the answer is A hope this helps :D

pOH = - log₁₀[OH]

pOH = - log₁₀[10⁻⁶]

pOH = - (-6) = 6

But    pOH + pH = 14
 
            6 + pH = 14
 
             pH = 14 - 6 = 8
 
             pH = 8

Option A.
