Answer:
pH = 11.30
Explanation:
pH is defined as -log [H⁺]
To find [H⁺] from [OH⁻] -Concentration of hydroxide ion-, we must use the equilibrium of water:
H₂O(l) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
Keq = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [H⁺] [OH⁻]
[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / [OH⁻]
[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2x10⁻³M
[H⁺] = 5x10⁻¹²M
pH = -log (5x10⁻¹²M)
pH = 11.30
