Determine the pH of a solution that is prepared by dissolving 8.7 g of Ba(OH)2 in 2 L water at 25°C. Assume that the volume of the solvent does not change upon addition of the solute. Atomic Weights: Ba = 137.3 g/mol; O = 16.00 g/mol; H = 1.008 g/mol. Express your answer in two decimal places only. Do not put the units.

Develop a set of rules by which you could predict the pH for solutions of strong or weak acids and strong or weak bases without using a calculator. Your predictions need to be accurate to 1 pH unit. Assume that you know the concentration of the acid or base and that for the weak acids and bases you can look up the pKa (log Ka) or Ka values. What rules would work to predict pH?
Two strategies are also followed when solving for the pH of a base in water. What is the strategy for calculating the pH of a strong base in water? List the strong bases mentioned in the text that should be committed to memory. Why is calculating the pH of Ca(OH)2 solutions a little more difficult than calculating the pH of NaOH solutions? Most bases are weak bases. The presence of what element most commonly results in basic properties for an organic compound? What is present on this element in compounds that allows it to accept a proton? Table 13-3 and Appendix 5 of the text list Kb values for some weak bases. What strategy is used to solve for the pH of a weak base in water? What assumptions are made when solving for the pH of weak base solutions? If the 5% rule fails, how do you calculate the pH of a weak base in water?
What is the pH of a solution obtained by adding 13.0 g of NaOH to 795 mL of a 0.200 M solution of Sr(OH)2? Assume no volume change after NaOH is added.
