pH two component 4
« on: October 19, 2008, 03:49:03 PM »
KOH is neutral right?

and so i have perchloric acid as being strong

and so the pH is

-log([HClO4])

and i get

pH = 1.086?

HClO4 is a strong acid and completely dissociates
KOH is a strong base and completely dissociates

do i just take difference in pH i get to get pH?

so that means i get...

8.2×10^−2 M  HClO4 and 2.4×10^−2 M  KOH

pH = -log([HClO4])
pH = 1.086

pOH = -log([KOH])
pOH = 1.619
pH = 12.3

total pH = 13.47

right?

Neutralization of acid (or base)
OH- + H+  :larrow: H2O

So, how much OH- and H+ do you have?
Which one is in excess?
So now that you have an access of one, what is that excess? And thus what is that pH?

How much perchloric acid do you start with? How much potassium hydroxide?
How much and of which one is left?

Stop guessing and blindly throwing numbers around. This is a limiting reagent question. Calculate what is in excess, calculate concentration of excess subtance, that will give you pH.
