If the hydroxide ion concentration of a solution is 3.26 x 10-6 M, is it an acidic or a basic solution?

It is a basic solution with pH =8.51

Explanation:

We were given that hydroxide ion concentration [OH-] as 3.26 x 10-6 M

But We know thar

[OH-] [H+] = 1 × 10^-14

To get the Hydrogen ion [H+] concentration, we have that

[H+] = 1 × 10^-14 M/[OH-]

= 1 × 10^-14 M/3.26 x 10-6 M

    =  3.067 x 10^-9 M

But, pH = - log [H+]

Therefore,

pH = - log (3.067 x 10^-9)

pH=8.51

when  pH > 7, The solution is basic, therefore a solution with pH =8.51 is basic.

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
