Calculate [oh−] for each solution.
1. ph = 13.48
express your answer using two significant figures.
2. ph = 8.19
express your answer using two significant figures.
3. ph = 2.12
express your answer using two significant figures.

1.  [OH⁻] = 0.30 M ; 2. [OH⁻] = 1.54x10⁻⁶M ; 3. [OH⁻] = 1.32x10⁻¹³M

Explanation:

Remember the rule:

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - pH

10*⁻pOH (you have to elevate 10, to -pOH)

10*⁻pOH  = [OH⁻]

1. 14 - 13.48 = 0.52

10⁻⁰°⁵² = 0.30

2. 14 - 8.19 = 5.81

10⁻⁵°⁸¹ = 1.54x10⁻⁶

3. 14 - 2.12 = 12.88

10⁻¹²°⁸⁸ = 1.32x10⁻¹³

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
