A glass cup of juice is found to have poH of 11.40.Calculate the concentration of the hydroxide ions in the juice

1 answer

First, we need to find the pOH of the juice by subtracting the pH from 14 (since pH + pOH = 14):

pOH = 14 - 11.40 = 2.6

Next, we can use the relationship between pOH and [OH-]:

pOH = -log[OH-]

2.6 = -log[OH-]

Taking the antilog of both sides:

[OH-] = 10^-2.6 = 0.00251 M

Therefore, the concentration of hydroxide ions in the juice is 0.00251 M.
