Answer #1

You have the expression of Ksp:

Ksp = [Ba + 2] * [OH -] ^ 2 = 4 * X ^ 3 = 5x10 ^ -3

It clears X = 0.108 M

[OH-] = 2 * X = 2 * 0.108 = 0.216 M

POH and pH are calculated:

pOH = - log 0.216 = 0.67

pH = 14 - 0.67 = 13.33

If you liked the answer, please rate it in a positive way, you would help me a lot, thank you.
