Please explain! Solution Ans 18 : pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentraion of solution. pH + pOH = 14 So here : 1) pH = 14 - 5 = 9 [H+] = 10 -pH [H+] = 10 -9 M pOH = 5 [OH-] = 10 -pOH = 10 -5 M 2) pH = 2 [H+] = 10 -2 M pOH = 14 - 2 = 10 [OH-] = 10 -10 M 3) pH = -log (1.0 x 10 -8 ) = 8 [H+] = 1.0 x 10 -8 M pOH = 14 - 8 = 6 [OH-] = 10 -6 M 4) pH = 14 - 10 = 4 [H+] = 10 -4 M [OH-] = 1.0 x 10 -10 M pOH = -log (1.0 x 10 -10 ) = 10 .
