The body's pH is tightly regulated because specific enzymes function best within a narrow pH range. What is the approximate pH of a 1.2 * 10-5 M aqueous solution of NaOH?

    9.08

    Explanation:

    pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydroxide ions.

    Thus,

    pOH = - log [OH⁻]

    Given that: - [OH⁻] = 1.2 * 10⁻⁵ M

    Putting in the above equation as:-

    pOH = - log 1.2 * 10⁻⁵ = 4.92

    Also, pH + pOH = 14

    So, pH = 14 - 4.92 = 9.08

    pH scale generally runs from 1 to 14 where pH = 7 represents neutral medium, pH 7 represents basic medium.
