$pH$ of strong bases

Tutorial 9

    

Let us calculate the pH of a solution of potassium methanolate $ CH_3OK \; \frac{g}{L}$: What is the chemical species that influences pH and why ?

For answers, use (possibly several times) the arrows ↑ Down! and ↓ Up! Complete please this question before moving on to the next one!

The methanolate ion is a strong base, $Na^+$ does not influence the pH

Calculate the initial molarity of methanolate!

$ c_ {CH_3O ^ -} $ $ = $ $ \frac {5,4} {54} $ $ = $ $ 0,1 \; M $

Calculate the pH of this solution!

$pOH$ $= $ $-log\;0.1$ $=$ $1.0$ $pH=14.0-1.0=13.0$
