    pH of a solution is 5. Its hydroxyl ion concentration is:

    A)  \[5\]    

    B)                         \[10\]                  

    C)  \[{{10}^{-5}}\]                 

    D)         \[{{10}^{-9}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We know that, \[[{{H}^{+}}]={{10}^{-pH}}={{10}^{-5}}M\] and \[[{{H}^{+}}]\,[O{{H}^{-}}]={{10}^{-14}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{[OH]}^{-}}=\frac{{{10}^{-14}}}{{{10}^{-5}}}={{10}^{-9}}\] Hence, hydroxyl ion concentration of solution is \[{{10}^{-9}}\].
