What concentration of aqueous Ba(OH)2 yields a pH of 9.0? A) 1x10−5 M B) 2x10−5 M C) 5x10−6 M D) 1x10−9 M E) 5x10−10 M

Answer :

Answer: option C) 5x10−6 M

Explanation:

Recall that pH + pOH = 14

9.0 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 9.0

pOH = 5.0

Then, find the concentration of aqueous Ba(OH)2 that yields a pOH of 5.0

Ba(OH)2 = Ba2+ + 2OH-

Since pOH = - log(OH-)

5.0 = - 2 x log(OH-)

2 x (OH-) = Antilog (-5.0)

2 x (OH-) = 0.00001

(OH-) = 0.00001/2

(OH-) = 0.000005

Then, 0.000005 in standard form = 5x10−6 M

[tex]5\times10^{-6} M[/tex] is the concentration of aqueous barium hydroxide.

Relationship between pH and pOH

pH + pOH = 14

We can calculate the pOH from the above equation,

9.0 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 9.0

pOH = 5.0

Then, find the concentration of aqueous [tex]Ba(OH)_{2}[/tex] that yields a pOH of 5.0

[tex]Ba(OH)_{2} = Ba^{2+} + 2OH^{-}[/tex]

Calculate the concentration of hydroxide ion as follows,

[tex]pOH=-log(OH^{-} )[/tex]

[tex]5.0 = - 2\times log(OH^{-} )\\2 \times (OH^{-} ) = Antilog (-5.0)\\2\times(OH^{-} ) = 0.00001\\(OH^{-} ) = 0.00001/2\\(OH^{-} ) = 0.000005\\=5\times10^{-6} M[/tex]

So, the concentration of aqueous barium hydroxide is [tex]5\times10^{-6} M[/tex].
