Calculate [H3O ] for the following solutions:
1) 3.07 × 10–3 M HBr.
2) b) 1.40 × 10–2 M KOH
1)
HBr is a strong acid and it can dissociate completely in solution
HBr ----> H^+ + Br^-
so the concentration of HBr is equal to the ocncentration of H+ ion in the solution
Therefore, [H3O+] = 3.07*10^-3 M
2)
KOH is a strong base and it can dissociate completely,
KOH ----> K+ + OH^-
Therefore, [OH-] = 1.40*10^-2 M
[H+][OH-] = 1*10^-14
[H+](1.40*10^-2) = 1*10^-14
[H+] = (1*10^-14)/(1.40*10^-2) = 0.714*10^-12
Therefore, [H3O+] is 7.14*10^-13
