determine pH of aqueous H2O2 solution
« on: June 09, 2010, 06:37:38 PM »
This should be simple but I've been out of school for a while.  My research on the internet has led me to a solution and I would like confirmation that it is correct. And if not, where I erred.

Q:  Calculate pH of aqueous solution of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). Concentration of H2O2 is 500 mg/L.

A:  Molecular weight of H2O2 is 34.015 g/mol.
     .5 g/L ÷ 34.015 g/mol = .0147 mol/L = .0147 M

     pH = -log[1x10-14 ÷ .0147 M] = 12.17
