    0.023 g of sodium metal is reacted with \[100\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\] of water. The pH of the resulting solution is

    A) 10

    B) 11

    C) 9

    D) 12

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\underset{2\,\,mol}{\mathop{2Na}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,+\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\underset{2\,\,mol}{\mathop{2{{H}_{2}}O}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{2\,\,mol}{\mathop{2NaOH}}\,+{{H}_{2}}\] Given,   \[=\frac{0.023}{23}mol\,\,\,\,\frac{100}{22400}mol\]                 \[=1\times {{10}^{-3}}mol\,\,\,\,=4.46\times {{10}^{-3}}mol\] Thus, Na is the limiting reagent and decide the amount of \[NaOH\] formed. \[\because \] mole Na give \[NaOH=1\,\,mol\] \[\therefore \] \[1\times {{10}^{-3}}\] mole Na will give \[NaOH\]                                                 \[=1\times {{10}^{-3}}mol\] Concentration of                 \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 1000}{1000}=1\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                 \[pOH=-\log [O{{H}^{-}}]\]                 \[=-\log (1\times {{10}^{-2}})\]                 \[=2\]                 \[pH=14-2=12\]
