By using pH formula, the concentration of hydroxyl ion [OH-] will be 5.3 ×[tex]10^{-4}[/tex] M.
What is pH?
The pH scale is a measurement of hydrogen ion concentration that is used to determine the acidity as well as alkalinity of a solution.
Calculation of [OH-] by using formula of pH.
Given data:
[H+] = 1.87 x [tex]10^{-11} M[/tex]
[OH-] = ?
Calculation of [OH-] is shown below:
It can be calculated by using the formula:
pH = -log [H+]
Put the value of concentration of hydrogen ion [H+] in above formula.
pH = -log (1.87 x [tex]10^{-11} M[/tex])
pH = -log (1.87) -log ( [tex]10^{-11} M[/tex])
pH = -0.27 +11
pH = 10.73
Now, use the formula, pH +pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - pH
pOH = 14 - 10.73
pOH = 3.27
Now, use formula pOH = -log [OH-]
[OH-] = [tex]10^{-pOH}[/tex]
[OH-] = [tex]10^{-3.27}[/tex]
[OH-] = 5.3 ×[tex]10^{-4}[/tex] M
Therefore, the concentration of hydroxyl ion [OH-] will be 5.3 ×[tex]10^{-4}[/tex] M.
