Equilibrium - Result Question 53

####55. A base when dissolved in water yields a solution with a hydroxyl ion concentration of 0.05mollitre1. The solution is

[2000]

(a) basic

(b) acidic

(c) neutral

(d) either ‘b’ or ‘c’

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (a) Given : Hydroxyl ion concentration [OH]=0.05molL1. We know that the

[H+][OH]=1×1014

or [H+]=1×10140.05=2×1013molL1

Since [OH]>[H+]

Therefore the solution is basic.
