Interpretation: The hydroxide ion concentration of the solution is
Concept Introduction: For a given solution, pH can be calculated as follows:
Here,
Similarly, pOH can be calculated as follows:
Here,
The relation between pH and pOH of the solution is represented as follows:
Explanation of Solution
The given concentration of hydroxide ion is
Substitute the values,
Now, pH is calculated from pOH as follows:
Substitute the value,
From the pH of the solution, hydrogen ion concentration can be calculated as follows:
Or,
Substitute the value,
Thus, the concentration of hydrogen ions is
Since the pH of the solution is more than 7, the solution will be basic in nature.
