Answer: The pH of the solution is 8.8
Explanation:
pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration
[tex]pH=-\log [H^+][/tex]
[tex]pOH=-log[OH^-][/tex]
pH+pOH=14
Putting in the values:
[tex]pH+5.2=14[/tex]
[tex]pH=8.8[/tex]
Thus pH of the solution is 8.8
