    The solubility of \[Sr{{(OH)}_{2}}\] at 298 K is 0.1581 M. What will be the concentration of \[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}\] in the solution?

    A)  \[0.158\times {{10}^{-14}}\]                      

    B)  \[0.3162\times {{10}^{-14}}\]

    C)  \[3.163\times {{10}^{-14}}\]                      

    D)  \[2.163\times {{10}^{-14}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[Sr{{(OH)}_{2}}(s)\xrightarrow{{}}S{{r}^{2+}}(aq)+2O{{H}^{-}}(aq)\]                 \[[S{{r}^{2+}}]=0.1581\,M\]        \[[O{{H}^{-}}]=2\times 0.1581=0.3126\,M\] Now,     \[{{K}_{w}}=[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}]\,[O{{H}^{-}}]\] So,          \[[{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}]=\frac{{{K}_{w}}}{[O{{H}^{-}}]}=\frac{{{10}^{-14}}}{0.3126}\]                                 \[=3.2\times {{10}^{-14}}\]                                 \[=3.163\times {{10}^{-14}}\]
