    At \[25{}^\circ C\], the dissociation constant of a base, BOH, is \[1.0\times {{10}^{-12}}\]. The concentration of hydroxyl ions in 0.01 M aqueous solution of the base would be

    A) \[1.0\times {{10}^{-5}}mol\,{{L}^{-1}}\]        

    B) \[1.0\times {{10}^{-6}}mol\,{{L}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[2.0\times {{10}^{-6}}mol\text{ }{{L}^{-1}}\]

    D) \[1.0\times {{10}^{-7}}mol\text{ }{{L}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Given \[{{K}_{b}}=1.0\times {{10}^{-12}}\] \[\left[ BOH \right]=0.01\text{ }M\]      \[{{[OH]}^{-}}=?\]  \[\begin{align}   & \begin{matrix}    {} & {} & {} & BOH\rightleftharpoons {{B}^{+}}+O{{H}^{-}}  \\ \end{matrix} \\  & \begin{matrix}    t=0 & {} & c & \begin{matrix}    {} & {} & 0 & \begin{matrix}    {} & 0  \\ \end{matrix}  \\ \end{matrix}  \\ \end{matrix} \\  & \begin{matrix}    t={{t}_{eq}} & c\,(1-\alpha ) & \begin{matrix}    c\alpha  & c\alpha   \\ \end{matrix} & {}  \\ \end{matrix} \\ \end{align}\] \[{{K}_{b}}=\frac{{{c}^{2}}{{\alpha }^{2}}}{c(1-\alpha )}=\frac{c{{\alpha }^{2}}}{(1-\alpha )}\] \[\Rightarrow 1.0\times {{10}^{-12}}=\frac{0.01{{\alpha }^{2}}}{(1-\alpha )}\] On calculation, we get, \[\alpha =1.0\times {{10}^{-5}}\] Now, \[\left[ O{{H}^{-}} \right]=c\alpha =0.01\times {{10}^{-5}}\] \[=1\times {{10}^{-7}}mol\,{{L}^{-1}}\]
