of a saturated solution of is 12. The value of solubility product of is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Given, of \begin{aligned}
\mathrm{pOH} & =-\log \left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right] \\
2 & =-\log \left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right] \\
{\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right] } & =\operatorname{antilog}(-2) \\
{\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right] } & =1 \times 10^{-2}
\end{aligned}\mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_2$ dissolves in water as\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_2(s) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Ba}_s^{2+}+2 \mathrm{OH}_2^{-} \\
& s \mathrm{ mol} \mathrm{ L}^{-1} \\
& \therefore \quad\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]=2 s=1 \times 10^{-2} \\
& {\left[\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}\right] }=\frac{\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]}{2}=\frac{1 \times 10^{-2}}{2} \\
& K_{\text{sp }}=\left[\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}\right]\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]^2
\end{aligned}$$\begin{aligned}
& =\left(\frac{1 \times 10^{-2}}{2}\right)\left(1 \times 10^{-2}\right)^2 \\
& =0.5 \times 10^{-6}=5 \times 10^{-7}
\end{aligned}$
