Question

anne added a sample of hydrochloric acid to water and determined the pH to be 1.79. what is the poH of the solution?

Answer 1

Answer: 12.21

Explanation:

It is well known that the sum of pH + pOH = 14.

To get the pOH of the solution, we subtract 1.79 from 14.

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 1.79 = 12.21

pOH = 12.21
