NEET2020ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
Find out the solubility of Ni OH 2 in 0.1   M   NaOH . Given that the ionic product of Ni OH 2 is 2 × 10 – 15 .
Options
- A2 × 10 – 8   M
- B1 × 10 – 13  M
- C1 × 10 8  M
- D2 × 10 – 13   M
Correct answer
D. 2 × 10 – 13   M
Step-by-step solution
α = 1 for NaOH NaOH ( aq ) → Na + 0 .1 M aq + OH − 0 .1 M aq Ni ( OH ) 2 s ⇌ Ni + 2 s ' aq + 2 OH − 0 .1 + 2 s ' aq Ionic product = s ' 0 .1 + 2 s ' 2 2 × 10 − 15 = s ' ( 0 . 1 ) 2 s ' = 2 × 10 − 13   M
