Guest thomjeff Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Hi folks. there's a scavenger hunt going on in my neck of the woods and the joker running it has posted the location as a set of encrypted numbers within a chem problem. I don't remember how to do this from High School chem long ago, but I thought I'd throw it out to you all for some help. I need to know the pH and pOH values of these two solutions: "5.0991 mg barium hydroxide octahydrate in 4.6 liters of water. 0.19825 g dihydrogen sulfate (aka sulfuric acid) in 374 ml of water. (both are separate, and at 25 degrees C with nothing else present, assume no change of volume/temperature etc)" -----------------
Miss BS Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 I can only think that it might want you to work out the molarity of the two; then giving you two co-ordinates perhaps? What's the molecular formula of Barium Hydroxide Octahydrate?
insane_alien Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Ba(H2O)6(<--subscript)OH or something like that i just made it up from the name a complexometric positive ion (the barium and water ligands) and the hydroxide negative ion.
