The molecular scene depicts the relative concentrations of H₃O⁺ (purple) and OH⁻ (green) in an aqueous solution at 25°C. (Counter ions and solvent molecules are omitted for clarity.) (a) Calculate the pH.

Respuesta :

The pH of the given statement = 7.50

What is the pH scale and how does it work?

The pH of water determines how acidic or basic it is. The scale runs from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs less than 7 indicate acidity, while pHs greater than 7 indicate base. pH is a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in water.

According to the information:

At 25°C, the ion-product of water is equal to [H₃O⁺ ][ OH⁻] = 1.00 x 10^-10.

As we can see in the image:

The total number of spherical molecules is 22, as shown in the figure, and the number of green-colored molecules is ten times that of purple-colored molecules. This implies that the concentration of hydroxide ions is ten times that of hydronium ions.

[ OH⁻] = 10 [H₃O⁺ ]

If this is the case, the concentration of hydronium and the pH of the solution must be adjusted.

10 [H₃O⁺ ]² = 1.00 x 10^-10

[H₃O⁺ ]² = 3.86 x 10^-8

pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

    = -log[3.86 x 10^-8]

   = 7.50

The pH of the given statement = 7.50
