determining hydroxide and hydrogen concentrations?
what formulas ?
Im not sure what your question is but are you wondering the concentation of Hydrogen in a polyatomic ion of Hydrogen?
sure that could help
to find it i use proportions. the whole polyatomic ion as 100% and then break it up and find the percent of each element then find out the total and use proportions
okay so if i have HCl and NaOH ?
Anonymous, you need to post an entire question. Your fragments of question are unanswerable.
okay the question is determine the hydroxide and hydrogen ion concentration of the dilute base that i used
the two thingys are HCl and NaOH
the moles are 0.0005
To determine hydroxide (OH-) and hydrogen (H+) ion concentrations in a solution, you can use the formulas for pH and pOH. The pH value represents the concentration of hydrogen ions, while pOH represents the concentration of hydroxide ions.
1. To calculate pH:
pH = -log[H+]
Here, [H+] represents the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per liter (M). To determine the concentration of hydrogen ions, you can use a pH meter, pH indicator paper, or a titration experiment with an appropriate acid-base indicator.
2. To calculate pOH:
pOH = -log[OH-]
Similarly, [OH-] represents the concentration of hydroxide ions in moles per liter (M). The concentration of hydroxide ions can be determined by pH measurements combined with the knowledge that water is neutral with a concentration of 1×10^-7 M for both hydrogen and hydroxide ions.
From the pH and pOH values, you can determine the hydroxide and hydrogen ion concentrations using the relationship:
[H+] × [OH-] = 1×10^-14 M^2
By substituting the calculated values of [H+] or [OH-] into this equation, you can solve for the concentration of the other ion.
