Additional Practice Questions 6. If you dissolve 2.31 g of barium hydroxide into 250 mL of water and the barium hydroxide is fully ionized, what will
your resulting pH be?

pH of solution = 13.033

Given

2.31 g Ba(OH)₂

250 ml water

Required

pH of solution

Solution

Barium hydroxide is fully ionized, means that Ba(OH)₂ is a strong base

So we use a strong base formula to find the pH

[OH ⁻] = b. Mb where

b = number of OH⁻ /base valence

Mb = strong base concentration

Molarity of Ba(OH)₂(MW=171.34 g/mol) :

Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻(b=valence=2)

[OH⁻]= 2 . 0.054

[OH⁻] = 0.108

pOH= - log 0.108

pOH=0.967

pOH+pH=14

pH=14-0.967

pH=13.033

no, the red giant is the hottest with 2.00.000.000 degrees celsius. while the white dwarf only 25,000 degrees celsius.
