Chapter 16, Problem 16.22QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

• The number of moles of $\text{KOH}$ in the given solution has to be calculated
• The $\text{pOH}$ of the solution at ${25}^{\circ }\text{C}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Information:

$\text{pOH}$ definition

The $\text{pOH}$ of a solution is defined as the negative base-10 logarithm of the hydroxide ion ${\text{[OH}}^{\text{-}}\text{]}$ concentration. $\text{pOH}$ scale is analogous to pH scale.

$\text{pOH}\text{=}{\text{-log[OH}}^{\text{-}}\text{]}$

To Calculate:

• The number of moles of $\text{KOH}$ in the given solution
• The $\text{pOH}$ of the solution at ${25}^{\circ }\text{C}$
