pH and pOH Calculations

The video tutorial covers the calculation of pH, pOH, and ion concentrations for solutions. It explains the relationship between H+ and OH- ions, and how to use the pH and pOH scales. Two example problems are solved: one for a sodium hydroxide solution and another for a hydrochloric acid solution. The tutorial emphasizes the use of calculators for logarithmic functions and provides multiple methods for solving the problems.

What is the relationship between pH and pOH in a solution?

• pH + pOH = 1

• pH + pOH = 14

• pH + pOH = 7

• pH + pOH = 10

What is the molarity of the OH- ion in a sodium hydroxide solution with a molarity of 4 x 10^-3?

• 4 x 10^-3 M

• 4 x 10^-2 M

• 4 x 10^-5 M

• 4 x 10^-4 M

How do you calculate the pOH of a solution?

• pOH = log[OH-]

• pOH = 14 - pH

• pOH = -log[OH-]

• pOH = -log[H+]

What is the pH of a solution if the pOH is 2.4?

• 10.6

• 9.6

• 12.4

• 11.6

Which button on a calculator is used to find the inverse log?

• exp

• log

• shift

• EE

What is the pOH of a solution with a pH of 3.2?

• 11.8

• 13.8

• 12.8

• 10.8

How do you calculate the H+ ion concentration from pH?

• H+ = -log(pH)

• H+ = pH/10

• H+ = 10^pH

• H+ = 10^-pH

What is the H+ ion concentration of a solution with a pH of 3.2?

• 6.31 x 10^-3 M

• 1.58 x 10^-11 M

• 2.51 x 10^-12 M

• 6.31 x 10^-4 M

What is the OH- ion concentration of a solution with a pOH of 10.8?

• 1.58 x 10^-11 M

• 6.31 x 10^-3 M

• 2.51 x 10^-12 M

• 6.31 x 10^-4 M

What is the significance of the value 1 x 10^-14 in pH and pOH calculations?

• It is the product of H+ and OH- concentrations

• It is the sum of pH and pOH

• It is the pH of a neutral solution

• It is the pOH of a neutral solution
