What is the [H30+] in a solution with (OH) = 1.0 x 10-12 M?

Concentration of hydronium ion, H3O+ is 1x10^-2 M

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Concentration of Hydroxide ion, [OH-] = 1.0x10^-12 M

Concentration of hydronium ion, [H3O+] =?

Next, we shall determine the pOH of the solution. This is illustrated below below:

pOH = - Log [OH-]

pOH = - Log 1.0x10^-12

pOH = 12

Next, we shall determine the pH of the solution.

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 12

pH + 12 = 14

Collect like terms

pH = 14 - 12

pH = 2

Finally, we shall determine the Concentration of hydronium ion, [H3O+] as follow:

pH = - log [H3O+]

pH = 2

2 = - log [H3O+]

- 2 = log [H3O+]

[H3O+] = Antilog (-2)

[H3O+] = 0.01M = 1x10^-2 M

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
