Indicate whether each of the following solutions is acidic, basic, or neutral:

a. [H3O+]=6.0×10-12M

b. [H3O+]=1.4×10-4M

c. [OH-]=5.0×10-12M

d.[OH-]=4.5×10-2M

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The mixture is basic.

b. The mixture is acidic.

c. The mixture is acidic.

d. The mixture is basic.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction (part a)

The given is[H3O+]=6.0×10-12M.

We have to find whether the solution is acidic, basic or neutral.

02

Explanation (part a)

Fill in the Kwfor water.

Kw=[H3O+]×[OH-]=1.0×10-14

Rearrange the Kwfor the best results

Kw[H3O+]=[H3O+]×[OH-][H3O+]=1.0×10-14[H3O+]

[OH-]=1.0×10-14[H3O+]

Calculate by substituting the known [H3O+]

[OH-]=2.0×10-14[6.0×10-12]=2.0×10-3M

The mixture is basic because the [OH-]of 2.0×10-3Mis greater than the [H3O+] of 6.0×10-12M.

03

Introduction (part b)

The given is [H3O+]=1.4×10-4M.

We have to find whether the solution is acidic, basic or neutral.

04

Explanation (part b)

Fill in the Kwfor water.

Kw=[H3O+]×[OH-]=1.0×10-14

Rearrange the Kwfor the best results.

Kw[H3O+]=[H3O+]×[OH-][H3O+]=1.0×10-14[H3O+]

[OH-]=1.0×10-14[H3O+]

Calculate by substituting the known [H3O+]

[OH-]=1.0×10-14[1.4×10-4]=7.0×10-11M

The mixture is acidic because the localid="1652591787750" [H3O+]of localid="1652591806453" 1.4×10-4Mis greater than the

[OH-]of 7.0×10-11M.

05

Introduction (part c)

The given is [OH-]=5.0×10-12M.

We have to find whether the solution is acidic, basic or neutral.

06

Explanation (part c)

Fill in the Kwfor water.

Kw=[H3O+]×[OH-]=1.0×10-14

Rearrange the Kwfor the best results.

localid="1652592906507" Kw[OH-]=[H3O+]×[OH-][OH-]=1.0×10-14[OH-]

[H3O+]=1.0×10-14[OH-]

Calculate by substituting the known [OH-]

localid="1652592462495" [H3O+]=1.0×10-14[5.0×10-12]=2.0×10-3M

The mixture is acidic because the [H3O+]of 2.0×10-3is greater than [OH-]of 5.0×10-12M

07

Introduction (part d)

The given is [OH-]=4.5×10-2M.

We have to find whether the solution is acidic, basic or neutral.

08

explanation (part d)

Fill in the Kwfor water.

Kw=[H3O+]×[OH-]=1.0×10-14

Rearrange the Kwfor the best results.

Kw[OH-]=[H3O+]×[OH-][OH-]=1.0×10-14[OH-]

[H3O+]=1.0×10-14[OH-]

Calculate by substituting the known [OH-]

role="math" localid="1652593152966" [H3O+]=1.0×10-14[4.0×10-2]=2.0×10-13M

The mixture is basic because the [OH-]of 4.5×10-2is greater than [H3O+]of 2.0×10-13M.
