AI Thread Summary
To calculate the pH of a 5.525g HClO solution in 100mL, one must consider that HClO is a weak acid and utilize its dissociation constant. The discussion also touches on a separate problem involving the pH of a solution made by dissolving 0.012g LiOH in 50mL, where participants clarify the concentration of hydroxide ions and the correct pH calculation. It is emphasized that LiOH is a strong base, leading to full dissociation and a straightforward calculation of pH. Participants engage in correcting each other's calculations and understanding the relationships between hydronium and hydroxide concentrations. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the importance of accurate concentration values and the proper application of pH formulas.

how i find the pH of 5.525 gr HClO that melted in 100 ml solution?

i just know i have 1 mol HClO, so how i keep from here?


thanks.

Not melted but dissolved.

This is a weak acid, you have to take into account its dissociation constant. Google ICE tables.
 
thank you.

can you tell me if i correct i got question that says:find the pH of solution that it volume 50ml and it made by dissolved 0.012gr LiOH. i found that v=0.05L n=0.0005mol,C=0.01
i am not sure if the pH is 13 or 10

thanks
 
Neither. Show what you did.
 
ok so how i told i found that v=0.05L n=0.0005mol,C=0.01

so i know that the concentration of hydroxide ions is 10^-1

and i know that the OH- is 1 so if i use the formula poh+ph=14 and i know that the poh is 1 so the pH must be 13 yes?

maybe my way is not 100% correct so i would like if you can show me the correct way.

thank you
 
If c=0.01 why do you think concentration of OH- is 10-1?
 
because the concentration of hydroxide ions =C and c=0.01

now i need to find the hydronium concentration

if i wrong can you show me the correct way?


(in my calculation the result of c,n,v i correct?)


thank you again.
 
0.01 is not 10-1.

What does it mean 10-1?
 
oh sorry is 10^-2 well is mean Hydronium Ion Concentration or hydroxide ions concentration but now i am not sure.

if i found the c=0.01 so is not =hydroxide ions concentration (we speak here about base solution)
yes?

You are on the right track now, LiOH is a strong base, so you can assume it is fully dissociated.

HI thank you , i Success to solve the problem.
