Expert verified

(a)

H+=0.010M,pH=2.00

(b)

OH-=0.035M,pH=12.54

(c)

H+=0.030M,pH=1.52

(d)

H+=3.0M,pH=-0.48

(e)

OH-=0.010M,pH=12.00

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the pH value of the given solutions

The pH of the solution can be calculated as:

pH=-logH+

02

Calculation of pH of 0.010 M  HNO3 

(a)

The concentration of the given solution is 0.010M.

HNO3H++NO3

The hydrogen ion concentration is equal to the actual concentration of the solution.

Therefore, H+=0.010M

pH=-logH+=-log0.010=2.00

03

Calculation of pH of 0.035 M  KOH 

The concentration of the given solution is 0.035M .

KOHK++OH

The concentration of the hydroxyl ion is equal to the actual concentration of the solution.

Therefore, OH-=0.035M

H+=KOH-=1.0×10-140.035M=2.86×10-13MpH=-log2.86×10-13=12.54

04

Calculation of pH of  0.030M  HCI

The concentration of the given solution is 0.030M

HCIH++CI-

The hydrogen ion concentration is equal to the actual concentration of the solution.

Therefore, H+=0.030M

localid="1663390304057" pH=-logH+=-log0.030=1.52

05

Calculation of pH of 3.0 M  HCI 

The concentration of the given solution is 3.0M .

HCIH++CI-

The hydrogen ion concentration is equal to the actual concentration of the solution.

Therefore, H+=3.0M

pH=-logH+=-log3.0=-0.48

06

Calculation of pH of 0.010M[CH34N+]OH- 

The concentration of the given solution is 0.010M

The concentration of hydroxyl ion is equal to the actual concentration of the solution.

Therefore, OH-=0.010M

H+=KwOH-=1.0×10-140.010M=1.0×10-12MpH=-log1.0×10-12=12.00
