hey everyone we're asked to solve for our P. O. H. Ph concentration of hydro ni um ions and concentration of hydroxide ions In a 1.2 times 10 to the negative 3rd moller strontium hydroxide strong based solution First. We can go ahead and solve our concentration of hydroxide ions by taking our 1.2 Times 10 to the negative 3rd molar of strontium hydroxide. And we can see through our multiple ratios that one mole of strontium hydroxide contains two mole of hydroxide ions, solving for our hydroxide ion concentration. We end up with a value of 2.4 times 10 to the negative third molar of hydroxide ions, solving for our P. O. H. We can then go ahead And take the negative log of 2. Times 10 to the -3 Molar. This will get us to a p. h. of 2.62, Solving for our ph we can then take 14 and subtract 2.62 which is our P. O. H. This will get us to a ph of 11.38. Now, lastly to solve for our concentration of hydro ni um ions We can take 10 to the negative 11. And this will get us to a concentration of 4.2 Times 10 to the -12 Molar and this is going to be our final answers for this question. So I hope this made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
