    Which solution has pH equal to 10?

    A) \[{{10}^{-4}}\]M KOH   

    B)  \[{{10}^{-10}}M\text{ }KOH\]

    C)  \[{{10}^{-10}}\]M \[\text{HCl}\]    

    D)  \[{{10}^{-4}}M\text{ HCl}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[[O{{H}^{-}}]\]in\[{{10}^{-4}}M\text{ }KOH\]solution \[={{10}^{-4}}M\] (KOH is a strong electrolyte) \[[{{H}^{+}}]=\frac{{{K}_{w}}}{[O{{H}^{-}}]}\] \[=1\times \frac{{{10}^{-14}}}{{{10}^{-4}}}=1\times {{10}^{-10}}M\] or    \[pH=10\]
