1. If the pH of an aqueous solution is 8.23, what are the hydrogen- and hydroxide-ion concentrations of this solution?
Since pH = -log[H+] where [H+] = the hydrogen ion concentration, you simply take the inverse log of -8.23 to get the hydrogen ion concentration, 5.89x10-9
Then, there are several ways to get the hydroxide ion concentration. You can use the fact that pH + pOH = 14 (take the inverse log of -(14-8.23)) or that [H+] + [OH-] = 1x10-14 (subtract the answer above from 1x10-14)
Thus, [OH-] = 1.70x10-6
2. If 7.40 grams of Ca(OH)2 is dissolved in sufficient water to make 100mL of solution, what is the hydroxide-ion concentration of this solution?
So, assume that the entire amount dissolves. First you must convert the 7.40g to moles by dividing by the molecular weight. If you're ever not sure whether to multiply or divide, just check the units... 7.40g Ca(OH)2 x (1 mol ...
