What is the pH of pure water with 10-2 M NaOH added? What is the alkalinity?
NaOH is strong base
NaOH(aq) ------------> Na^+ (aq) + OH^-
10^-2 M 10^-2 M
[OH^-] = [NaOH]
[OH^-] = 10^-2M
POH = -log10^-2
= 2
POH = 2
PH = 14-POH
= 14-2 = 12
Alkalinity is the name given to the quantitative capacity of an aqueous solution to neutralize and acid
