This is very simple and basic question

The pH of aqueous solution of NaOH is given 7.3 at 298 K

Find the concentration on Na+ in the solution

Kw=10-14

Provide your method also

Can you show your method?

pOH= 14- 7.3 = 6.7

[OH-] = antilog(-6.7) = 2E-7

since its a strong base, there will be full dissociation.. so,

[Na+] = [OH-] = 2E-7 M

I think you should try more

i think if we consider OH due to water

H = 10^-7.3

OH = 10^-6.7 = H + Na

Na = 10^-6.7 - 10^-7.3 = 1.494 X 10^-7

i got 2.1X10^-6

Since pH+pOH=ln[10^-14}=14
therefore the pH has to be the given value i.e 7.3

m i rite>>>>>>?????????pls scrap back

The answer given by Celestine is correct.

Here pH=7.3 so [H+]=5×10-8

[OH-]=Kw/[H+]=2×10-7

By conservation of charge

[H+]+[Na+]=[OH-]

[Na+]=1.5×10-7
