(a)
Interpretation:
The pH value for a solution in which [H+] = 1.0×10−3M should be calculated at 25°C.
Concept Introduction:
To express the small number, p scale is used, which implies to take the log of a number. Since, the concentration of [H+] in aqueous solution is small, by using the p scale in the form of pH scale, it is better way to represent acidity of solution.
Thus, pH = -log [H+]
And, at 25°C, the actual concentrations of the products are:
[H+][OH−]=1×10−14
The mathematical product of both [H+] and [OH−] concentrations are always constant known as ion product constant ( Kw )
[H+][OH−]=1×10−14=Kw.
(b)
Interpretation:
The pH value for a solution in which [OH−] = 5.0×10−5M should be calculated at 25°C.

- Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? *see imagearrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardThe answer here says that F and K have a singlet and a doublet. The singlet and doublet are referring to the H's 1 carbon away from the carbon attached to the OH. Why don't the H's two carbons away, the ones on the cyclohexane ring, cause more peaks on the signal?arrow_forward
