Determine the pH of 0.010 M KOH solution. KOH is a strong base.

KOH is a strong base, meaning that it dissociates completely in solution. This means that after dissolving, 0.01 M of K + and 0.01 M of OH - will be present in solution.

The pOH is a measurement of OH - concentration, measured by - log[OH-]. The pOH of this solution would be equal to - log[0.01], or 2.

pOH has a relationship to pH:

pOH + pH = 14

therefore,

2 + pH = 14

pH = 12

The pH of this KOH solution would be equal to 12.
