If the pH of an acid is 1.5, then what is the pOH of its conjugate base?
  1. 12.5
  2. 1.5
  3. 7
  4. 10.5
  5. 14
Explanation
Answer: A - For any given compound, the pH of the acid + pOH of the conjugate base must equal 14. Thus, if the pH is 1.5, a relatively strong acid, we expect the pOH of the conjugate base to be high, because it will be a weak base. 14-1.5 is 12.5, in this problem.
