(a)
Interpretation:
The two whole numbers between which the pOH of the given solutions will be for the given hydroxide ion concentrations has to be determined
Concept Information:
pOH definition:
The
Determining pOH without calculation:
The pOH scale is the reverse of the pH scale.
On the pOH scale, numbers below 7 indicate a basic solution, whereas numbers above 7 indicate an acidic solution.
The pOH benchmarks work the same way the pH benchmarks do.
For example:
A hydroxide ion concentration between
