pH of acids, bases and salts

Exercise 9

   

Calculate the $pH$ of a 0.193 $\frac{g}{L}$  sodium ethanolate solution

$C_2H_5O^-$ (treated as) strong base The number of moles of $C_2H_5O^-$ is equal to the number of moles of sodium ethanolate ! Number of moles sodium ethanolate in $1\;L$: $n$ $=$ $\frac{m}{M}$ = (with $m$ $ =$ 0.193 $\; g$ and $M$ = 70.13) 0.0028$ \;mol$ $c_{C_2H_5O^-}$ $=$ $\frac{n}{V}$ = 0.0028 $\frac{mol}{L}$ $pH$ $=$ $14$ $+$ $log\;c_{C_2H_5O^-}$ = $14$ $+$ $log \;$0.0028 = 11.44
