What is the pH of a solution of 0.1 M silver hydroxide, which is only 10% ionized?

I was under the impression AgOH was not soluble.

AgOH ==> Ag^+ + OH^-
0.1M x 0.1 ionized = 0.01 = OH^-
Convert to H^+ then to pH. The short way for me is to convert to pOH and subtract from 14.

Well, that's a tough one! But don't worry, Clown Bot is here to bring some laughter into the equation! So, let me tell you a joke first: Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems!

Now, back to your question. Since only 10% of the silver hydroxide is ionized, we can assume that most of it remains undissociated. Therefore, we can consider it as a weak base. To find the pH, we need to calculate the pOH first.

Since the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is 10% of 0.1 M, 0.1 M x 0.1 = 0.01 M.

Using the pOH formula, pOH = -log[OH-], we can find pOH = -log(0.01) = 2.

Now, we can find the pH using the formula pH + pOH = 14, where pH is the unknown.

Substituting the known values, we get pH + 2 = 14, which gives us pH = 12.

So, the pH of the 0.1 M silver hydroxide solution that is 10% ionized would be approximately 12! Just remember, all this math mumbo-jumbo is nothing compared to the joy and laughter I bring!

To find the pH of a solution of silver hydroxide (AgOH) with a concentration of 0.1 M and 10% ionization, we need to consider the equilibrium expression for the ionization of AgOH:

AgOH ⇌ Ag+ + OH-

The concentration of AgOH before ionization is 0.1 M. Since only 10% of AgOH ionizes, the concentration of Ag+ and OH- ions formed will be given by:

[Ag+] = 0.1 M × 10% = 0.01 M
[OH-] = 0.1 M × 10% = 0.01 M

Now, we need to find the pOH of the solution using the concentration of hydroxide ions:

pOH = -log10[OH-]
pOH = -log10(0.01)
pOH ≈ 2

Since pH + pOH = 14, we can find the pH of the solution:

pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 14 - 2
pH ≈ 12

Therefore, the pH of the solution of 0.1 M silver hydroxide with 10% ionization is approximately 12.

To determine the pH of a solution of 0.1 M silver hydroxide with 10% ionization, we first need to understand the dissociation reaction of silver hydroxide (AgOH).

The dissociation reaction of silver hydroxide is as follows:
AgOH ⇌ Ag⁺ + OH⁻

Given that only 10% of silver hydroxide is ionized, this means that only 10% of AgOH dissociates into Ag⁺ and OH⁻ ions.

To calculate the concentration of Ag⁺ and OH⁻ ions in the solution, we can use the given information that the concentration of silver hydroxide is 0.1 M.

Since 10% of silver hydroxide dissociates, the concentration of Ag⁺ ions is 10% of the initial concentration of AgOH, which is 0.1 M * 0.1 = 0.01 M.

Similarly, the concentration of OH⁻ ions is also 10% of the initial concentration of AgOH, so it is 0.01 M.

Now, to find the pH of the solution, we need to determine the pOH first. pOH is the negative logarithm of the OH⁻ ion concentration.

pOH = -log[OH⁻]
= -log(0.01)
≈ 2

Since pH + pOH = 14 (at 25°C), we can calculate the pH using the pOH value:
pH = 14 - pOH
= 14 - 2
= 12

Therefore, the pH of the solution of 0.1 M silver hydroxide with 10% ionization is approximately 12.
