Equilibrium Question 477

Question: A base is dissolved in water yields a solution with a hydroxide ion concentration of 0.05 $ mollitr{e^{-1}}. $ The solution is [AFMC 1997]

Options:

A) Basic

B) Acid

C) Neutral

D) Both A and B

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ [O{H^{-}}] $ ion conc. $ =0.05\frac{mol}{l} $

$ =5\times {10^{-2}}\frac{mol}{l} $

$ pOH=-\log [O{H^{-}}] $

$ =-\log [5\times {10^{-2}}] $

$ pOH=1.30 $ ; $ pH+pOH=14 $

$ pH=14-pOH $

$ =14-1.30=12.7 $
