Answer: It is a basic solution with pH =8.51
Explanation:
We were given that hydroxide ion concentration [OH-] as 3.26 x 10-6 M
But We know thar
[OH-] [H+] = 1 × 10^-14
To get the Hydrogen ion [H+] concentration, we have that
[H+] = 1 × 10^-14 M/[OH-]
= 1 × 10^-14 M/3.26 x 10-6 M
= 3.067 x 10^-9 M
But, pH = - log [H+]
Therefore,
pH = - log (3.067 x 10^-9)
pH=8.51
when pH > 7, The solution is basic, therefore a solution with pH =8.51 is basic.
