NEET2019ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
The pH of 0.01 M NaOH (a q) solution will be
Options
- A7.01
- B2
- C12
- D9
Correct answer
C. 12
Step-by-step solution
NaOH is a strong base, thus aligned [ OH ⁻ ] & =0.0 M =10⁻² M pOH & =- [ OH ⁻ ]=- (10⁻² )=2 aligned We know that, pH + pOH =14 pH =14-2=12 Thus, option (3) is correct.
