Equilibrium Question 420

Question: The $ pH $ of $ {10^{-5}} $ M aqueous solution of $ NaOH $ is [MP PET 1996]

Options:

A) 5

B) 7

C) 9

D) 11

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

NaOH ⇌ $ N{a^{+}}+O{H^{-}} $

$ [O{H^{-}}]={10^{-5}} $ M ; $ [{H^{+}}][O{H^{-}}]={10^{-14}} $

$ [{H^{+}}]=\frac{{10^{-14}}}{{10^{-5}}} $ ; $ [{H^{+}}]={10^{-9}} $ M ; $ pH=9 $ .
