AI Thread Summary
To determine the [H+] and pH of a 100 mM KOH solution, it's essential to recognize that KOH fully dissociates into K+ and OH-. The concentration of OH- is 0.1 M, leading to a pOH of 1 (pOH = -log[0.1]). Using the relationship pH + pOH = 14, the pH can be calculated as 13. Therefore, the [H+] can be derived from the pH, resulting in a concentration of 10^-13 M. Understanding the correct unit conversions is crucial for accurate calculations.

What is [H+] and pH for a 100 mM solution of KOH


The Attempt at a Solution



This seems very simple..its only 2 marks but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I understand KOH will dissociate into K+ and OH-

pOH=-log(OH) ?
ph + pOH = 14
p[OH]=-log[100x10^-6?]
where and what am i doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
