The hydrogen ion concen.(H+),of the acid is 0.25moldm3 ie(H)=0.25

but ph=-log{H+}

ie pH=-Log{0.25}

=-log{2.5*10`}

=-0.398+1=0.602

but pH+pOH=14

i.e 0.60+pOH=14

^pOH=14-0.60



=13.40

thanks but how can you solve the -log(0.25) without the use of calc?

Pls Admin.... There are no special key functions on the calculator that will be provided on the system on the D-day...
pls if if you can put us through on how to solve it without using calculator....

Or anyone that knows it better...

pls this is important...

Why +1 why not -1 ,it says 10 raised to power -1 why u changing it to +1 that's all I wanna know.. D correct option is D not that answer don't change - to + anyhow .. 10^-1 is -1


pH = -log [H+]

. = - (log 25 * 10^-1]
. - (log 25 + log 10^-1 )
-(1.398 + (-1)
. - (1.398-1)
-(0.398)

14-(-0.398)
14+0.398

=14.40
